My car (2014 E550) was in an accident and then when passenger side was repaired, they never replaced the tire pressure sticker on the inside of the fuel door. Does anyone know where to find a replacement? If not could someone with an E550 take a picture of the sticker for me/or tell me the pressure as I recall the pressure listed on the sticker was different from what was listed in the manual.
Here are the two and the configuration on my 2012 E550:
Also, you can always call MB with your Vin and they can get you the correct stickers as well. Not sure if 2012/2014 are exactly the same or not...
Interesting. My 350 has the same wheels as a lot of the 550s and calls for 33F/35R.. I don't even run them that high. 32F/33R seems to be the sweet spot for ride in mine.

But you are not driving at 100 mph like the label on 550 indiactes?
Tire pressure is compromise. Usually tire itself can work well in 30-50 psi range, but lower side will increase fuel consumption, when high pressure will lower comfort.
So car designers play with it depends on the goal. I would think 550 calls for sporty feel, therefore higher tire pressure.

No,mine specifies +4PSI for 100+ mph - not necessary here in the states.
See there is big difference between country models. The picture above shows
"-3 for below 100mph"
your says
"+4 for above 100 mph"
Not only the value is different, but logic is upside down.
Having Airmatic will change that picture. Also changing your tires will invalidate that sticker if you don't get the same brand and type of tire.
Don't know how it can change the recommended pressure.
When as I mentioned, manufacturers play with recommendation to set different goals, the the recommended footprint tire should have is strictly mathematical weigh/pressure formula.
The only thing that can change with airmatic is that you can inflate tires higher and still be comfortable.
I misread my label.. like all 50 times I've looked at it, I've misread it. Have the staggered split 18" AMG rims. My label actually says:
Normal load: 33F, 35R
Maximum load: 36F, 42R
LESS THAN 100MPH -3PSI
WARM TIRES UP TO +4PSI
So this means my current settings of 30-31F and 32-33R are the correct ones, which would explain why it rides and drives so well now. Every time it goes to the dealer they reset it to 40/41 all around and it becomes jittery and nervous.
There is also a label on the column of Drivers side front door. that is specific for your car.
I just checked and the label on my fuel door differs from the label on the drivers door column. Fuel door label has normal and max load pressures. Door column has only max load.
Sorry for any misinformation.
Had to air up all four tires-car had not moved in six weeks. Covid19
