Tire pressure confusion/conflict!
Hello. My 2018 W213 shows conflicting tire pressures. Tires are Pirelli P7 245/45 R18. The door jam states: cold pressure....37 front, 43 rear. The gas tank flap states: cold pressure...32 front and back for "normal" use, and 33 front/ 39 back for "Max" load.
I have been keeping cold pressure.....37 in front and 38 in the rear.....for normal use. Why is Mercedes "conflicted"?.........thanks!

Not conflicted, actually. Generally speaking the door jamb shows a pressure that would accommodate multiple tires. Since MB puts lot's of different tires on their cars, they don't create a door jamb that is specific to the tires that were put on your car. But the gas filler door sticker is for your specific tires and what you should use as your guide.
