The pics really help. I was sure you were referring to the 17" AMGs.
Comparing the even to the uneven is really helpful. So 36 Front and 37 Rears is good?

No prob, glad I could help... I think I'm running at 37-38 Front, 35-36 Rear.... The Front should have higher psi since the engine makes the front heavier...

Just changed first set of tires.
After I increased the pressure at 9,000 miles as stated earlier and repeated above, after dismal uneven tire wear because of underinflation, -- I got 24,000 miles on the original set of Michelin Pilot Sport.
Tire pressures of 33/32 are just WRONG as listed on my gas filler door.
THOSE LOW PRESSURES BENEFIT TIRE MANUFACTURERS, TIRE SHOPS AND -- SCREW SOME CONSUMERS.
My MB service shop wanted to replace my tires at 12,000 miles... - go figure.

If you keep it at the suggested 32/33 listed on the fuel door panel, this is what you will get:
Under Inflated tire after 10,000 miles
Even tire wear:

and finally, here is a pic of an under-inflated tires @ the factory psi setting, notice the absense (completely worn out) of the Nike-like swoosh marks

Not withstanding the tire pressure but why does Mercedes state that the rears should be higher on the rears then the fronts. I myself am running 36 front/38 rear.
