Correct tire pressure??

Hey guys. Wanted some clarity on this. I've read that you should follow the vehicle tire info affixed to the door jam. What do you follow when you upgrade the rims and tires? I have a 2003 ML350 with 2006/2007 GL 5spokes with Dunlop SP5000 (265/60R/18 110H). The tires have a 51 max psi on the sidewall. What is the correct cold tire pressure? Thanks for your time.

The Tyre pressure is stated on the inside of the fuel flap.

Tyre pressures are the same wether you are running 16" or 20" rims or anything in between,

Tyre pressure is governed by the axle weight of your motor.
So if it states 32lb per square inch that is what it should be.

Sorry to be so blunt and to the point,
but this question pops up on loads of differant forums,and instead of explaining the in's and out's it is easy just to say it in plain english.

Thats OK glad to be of service.

Would it be possible for you to measure the distance between the center of the wheel and the lower lip of the fender for me please front and rear, and post your results,as i need some conformation on this measurment.
