What are the tyre pressures for the 19" split rims?

I've got them on my car but the hand book only gives pressures for the 18 inch wheels. Anyone know?
thanks

I've got the 19" AMG 5-spoke wheels on my '08. If those are the wheels you're referring to, the decal in the door jam calls for 35 psi front/36 psi rear.

I have the same setup on my SL55. I have the Michelin PS2`s
My rear tires are a little bit larger than OEM and are 295`s. OEM SL65 Wheels.

I keep 40 Rear and 36 Front. Otherwise it suffers from tire wall flex at high
torque if you get heavy footed. Better to over inflate a bit than under inflate. Especially if you make any high speed runs on occasion.

Guys, what about for a 20" setup (20x9.5 front, and 20x11 rear)(255/30/20 front, 285/30/20 rear)? What PSI should I be running? Sorry to hijack your post Alastairm.
