It was easy with my BMW because 275/30/19 & 245/35/19 were both oem optional tire sizes and as such the pressure recommendation was listed in the door...no such luck (as far as I can tell) with the MBZ...so what do you recommend...I'm currently running 35 in the rear and 32 in the front

I run 35 all around in my E55 which has the OEM SL 65 19" rims. I am tempted to run 38 in the back and 25 up front for a bit smoother ride. But I would stick with 35 all around.

Thanks...I see you have a Honda Odyssey too...we just picked one up to replace my wifes allroad (that she smashed)...never thought I would be saying this...but I really like the minivan (for our 2 kids under 5 and the dog) / Great car to take a road-trip in (with the family)

It really is a great car with an awesome NAV and RES. I love the seats and how they fold into the second floor and what not. I just wish it had Xenon's and some LED tailiights in the rear like our E's.

Chenry, I think you are nuts hahaha. The Benz looks nothing alike the Odyssey IMO.

Want some good performance updates for cheap on the Odyssey: Switch to Mobil 1 5W-20 Synthetic. You will get better gas mileage, engine runs smoother, quieter, cooler, feels more agressive, and gets about 1mpg to 2mpg better over the stock crap the dealer puts in.

For the benefit of others that may be reading this thread and wondering what MB Fanatic is referring to…in a temporary moment of insanity I compared the styling of the Honda Odyssey to the R-Class …I quickly came to my senses and have sense deleted the post in hopes of avoiding any major retribution from my fellow forum members

Thanks for tip on the oil

Interested as well. I am running stock E55 Rims / Tires on my 2003 W211 (well, rears are 275 not 265). Running 28 in the front and 32 in the rear... What is the OEM suggested PSI for this size of tire?
