Appropriate Tire Pressure
I have a CLK430 with 17" amg wheels, and unfortunatly no owners book. So my dumb question is, does anyone know the optimal tire pressure for these tires?
Also does anyone know a tire and/or tire pressure to help prevent damaging the rims?
I appreciate the help.

don't use 32/33... you'll wear out your tires damn fast...
The CLK430 is heavier than the 320... so, when using 32/33 combo, the tires will quite underinflated.... this will cause immature tread wear inside & out...
I had that (as well as many many other forum members) and I corrected that issue by bumping the pressure up to 38 psi front & rear...
the manual & gas door label is incorrect... it is recommended probably for comfort purposes... definitely not in the best interest of tire life...
