C350 Tire Pressures?

Wondering what your tire pressures were set at....I checked mine and after a month of use the fronts where at 34psi and the rears at 36psi. My friend says to switch them making 35 in the front and 34 in the rear to give more steering control and better rear wheel grip....just wondering what your thoughts were on this.

Do what it says on your cars door sill. Mine says 35 PSI for the rears and 30 PSI for the fronts.

Observe the TP instructions on the gas filler door. Ignore your pal.

I adjust my tyre pressures to the conditions with the MB recommendations as a guide ie Long distance highway speed driving with a heavily loaded car = higher pressures. Lower speed commuting over poorer quality road surface with light load = lower pressures for more comfort & less suspension wear.
For people who think they have a slight steering pull due to road camber ,I would experiment with having one front tyres pressure a few pounds more than the other to see if there is any benifit.In other words suck it & see.John.

Are you running 17's or the optional 18's? 18's list 32 psi front and 35 psi rear.
