Question Correct Tire Pressure for an 02 CLK 430

I have been reading about all the different tire recommendations for the CLK. I just got an 02 CLK 430 and I have Mich. Pilot Sports. Can someone please recommend the correct tire pressure for the front and rear tires to ensure the best wear. My old 1999 CLK I went through 3 pairs of front tires with uneven wear and I drive normal most of the time.

Thanks.

Tires

Also, bear in mind that the inflation pressures on the inside of the fuel filler door are for cold tires. When at the gas station, I usually add about 4 psi to allow for the fact that the tires have warmed up. The next morning I go into the garage and set the pressures cold. Hence 36 psi on a warm tire usually winds up being about 32 psi the next morning when the tires have cooled down.
