Tire Pressure for 19" Rims?
What is the recommended tire pressure for 19" rims no lowered? Its a 99 e320.
The tire size is 245-35-19 on front on rear and im keeping them at about 35 psi right now but i think thats too low. what do you guys keep them at?

if it's consolation...
I have a set of 18's and I keep them around 40psi. Sure you will sacrifice a bit of comfort, but would you rather have a crack/bent rim, or less cushy ride?

the thing is my front tires, the other side of each is wearing out a lot faster than the rest of the tire. The outer edges of both front tires are pretty much bald right now but the more inward the more tread there is. thats why im thinking my psi is too low.

Sounds like you might have an alignment problem. The recommended alignment settings for our cars suggest a little bit of negative camber in the front, which would cause inside tire wear, not outside tire wear.

huh? I've always thought that no matter what size tire/wheel combo you go with the tire pressure should always be the one stated in your glove box? Cause the pressure is what's supporting your car's weight?

If both outer edges of your front tires, or if it happens on the rears for that matter, I think that indicates that your pressure is too low.
