I have 35 on both front and rear. Mine is a E320 w/ sport wheels (17").

Ride quality is fine, and handling is good.

I own the E320 with sports package (17" wheels) and run 30 psi in the front and 33 psi in the rear. I may experiment running with a little more pressure. As far as I am concerned I do not notice any real difference in ride comfort.

i just go by factory, plus 1-2 more lbs. i dont think it is a range of 26-29. one # is for a colder, or hotter tire i believe, it changes since the tire does expand while getting hot. GL

2003 E-500
I run 32 rear and 27 front. I tried running higher in the front (32) and found both of my E-500's had a tendancy to wander. Lowering the pressure to 27 fixed the problem. At time of delivery of my Nav replacement E-500, I brought a tire pressure gauge with me and found there was 33psi in all the tires. After about three miles of driving, I reset the pressures to 27/32 and steering improved with no problems since.

I go with the higher end of the 100MPH driving rec. pressures in the fuel door, for front and rear. Have noticed full even wear on the tires and no problems.
