What is the correct tire pressure 99 SL500 Sport

Can anyone tell me the correct tire pressure for a 99 SL500 sport - front and rear.

I don't have the sport model, but recently upgraded to the AMG 18" rims - 245/40/18 front, 275/35/18 rear.

Thanks!

Can I find out exactly what Mercedes says for an SL500 sport that comes stock with these rims. I'd like for someone to tell me exactly what it says on the inside of their gas cap if it came stock with the 18" 245/40/18 front 275/35/18 back. THanks.

The placard opposite the drivers' door on my 1999 SL500 Sport has the following info: "cold tire pressure-front: 33psi, rear: 36psi".
