Recommended tire pressure to soften up the ride on a C63S sedan

Guys,

I have a 2015 C63S sedan and my one and only complaint about the car is that I findthe ride to be rather unbearable. I realize the suggested setting is something like 48 PSI all around, but I am wondering if others are running lower tire pressures to make the car more comfortable.

Suggested settings? I am running the Michelin PSS 265/35/ZR19's by the way.

Thanks to all for any input!

Rob

Hi Rob,
Drop the pressures down to 40 psi front and rear and enjoy the ride.
Chris.

Are you looking in the door jam for the tire pressures? If so, those are for max weight carrying. You need to look inside the fuel filler cap for the normal air pressures. It's backwards, I know. (Must be a Merc thing). I was shocked myself when I first learned this.

You may have more luck in the W205 forum. This is the W204 forum for the cars with the 6.2L engine. Different vehicle weight, different wheel sizes...
