With a full compliment of passengers and their luggage moving along at extra legal speeds - perhaps.

Snapped a photo of the recommended cold tire pressure settings awhile back:
Since it's usually just the two of us with minimal luggage, have found that 35 psi front and 34 psi rear - measured when stone cold - yields a decent ride (upped the rears 2 psi from the recommended 32 psi for no good reason other than old habits). When set as mentioned the tire pressures increase to roughly 40 psi front and 39 psi rear with moderate driving. So if you are referring to the 41/39 tire pressures shown after driving your CLE53 some distance it's likely your cold tire pressure settings are similar.
The TPMS sensors in my coupe have proven to be surprisingly accurate, noting that tire pressures on a warm day can increase from the cold garage measurements by a few psi in the short distance driven before in-car results are available. Checking outside the garage before driving on a summer day when two wheels have been in direct sunlight is always a challenge.
Everyone has a preferred tire pressure setting often much different than the recommendations. Would be curious to know what other CLE53 owners have settled on.

Thank you so much. I finally get to see it. 35/32 is what it will be for me since it's only 2 of us.
Those idiots at Delray MB had all 4 tires between 45 & 50. I knew when I quickly glanced at the door jam, it was for max load.
