The Age Old Tire Pressure Question...
I'm running Continental DWS X-large tires all around on my car and was wondering as to what PSI you guys are running front and back. I'm running 42 front and 44 rear last I checked. The tire pressure recommendation behind the gas cap says 44 front and 46 rear. No this is NOT the Max Capacity recommendation. This is normal pressure that MB recommends.

Is it just me or are those numbers excessively high?

i usually run 36f/38r for 18's and 38/40 for 19's. If your going to go 150mph+ or itd probably be better to increase it though.

I was running 39/40. I liked it. Softened the ride, but it didn't have a precise feel and i decided to go back up to the factory spec. I'm running 41/44 cold now...44/49 warm. Feels more nimble.

I doubt I'll be going past 150mph

okay, so I'm in the ballpark and not too far off.

44/49 must ride like a truck and also wearing the center out of the tread, do a quick wheel spin probably 5 inches of contact

The tire pressure recommendations are at cold 41/44. They're not telling you this is where it needs to be warm are they?

Or are we supposed to be running nitrogen with no expansion?

The pressure shown on the gas cap is for 3 people and luggage. Very rarely are there three people in the car and less likely to have 3 bags of luggage. I run 36 Fr and 38 Rear on the E. 2 people, no bags
And yes if you see 5 PSI increase when hot better think about nitrogen.
