Tire Pressure Check
Need your counsel....
I think the tires in my GLK do not have the appropriate pressure....On reading the manual, I learnt that there is a pressure pump in the car..
Does anyone have exprience with using this pump...or is it smarter to go to a gas station and get the pressures checked....
How are you all checking the tire pressures...Also, a link to a good pump that I can purchase will be immensely appreciated...
Thank you very much.

no, no nitro in US tires.
MB compressor is really good, much better than what I used to have and fits in the trunk perfectly.
20's have to be at 35 psi (cold!!!) I believe. Do not measure pressure after you've been driving as it will be higher.

The TPS is the only problem we've had with the GLK since purchasing it back in April. It's been back to the dealer several times. Once to replace the system because it failed shortly after purchase and many other times because of varying tire pressure setting off the alert. That second has been quite annoying and I'm hoping it won't be a regular occurance. It way to finicky!

Off to the dealer next week. Hope the 'fix' is now known!

Yep, it'd be a little difficult to put on that spare if M-B didn't provide an electric air pump...it's deflated when stored in the spare-tire well.
