OK, over the last year I have bought both a 2012 C207 and an A207 and just noticed the difference in recommended tire pressure given the tires sizes are the same, both front and rear?? For the Cabrio, it's 36PSI for the front and 46PSI at the rear. For the Coupe, it's 38PSI for the front and 41PSI for the rear. Why is this??? Other than the soft top, these cars are essentially the same...

Any insights?

For the cab, there’s much more weight over the rear wheels especially when the top is down - the hydrolics and the top.

Check the manuals for curbside weight. Looks like the A model is +300kg from what I can see.

Very interesting.
On my 2010 E550 Coupe the suggested PSI's on the inside of the gas cap door are different than they are on the driver's door jamb.
Unrelated quirk, but also interesting, is that the dashboard temperature gauge is in Centigrade.

I go by the fuel filler flap. For my car, the values in the door jamb are for maximum vehicle load (i.e., four passengers and full trunk).
