tires low
I noticed yesterday that my tires looked low, and wondered if the clk55 needed to have air in the tires more frequently - i've had the car for 2 months now. Both tires on the drivers side were low. The passenger side was fine. any thoughts ... hoping I don't have a slow leak or something odd. I don't recall running over anything -

Tires
I've also had problems with my tires. It seems to be a slow leak.
I've replaced 1 tire, patched another one up, and still seem to have
problems. The service advisor told me to keep filling the tire with air
more frequently!

In general, low profile tires tend to deflate faster than standard tires, and therefore need to be checked more frequently. Not quite sure why, but that is my experience.
Chappy is right about TireRack. The money you save by going through them far outweighs the cost of shipping.

I guess I have to check them more frequently.
Funny thing is when I had the W208 CLK430 I hardly ever had to add air.
I just filled up the fronts to 30 psi this weekend and I will see how much they deflate in a few weeks.
