SLC300
Two tire pressure stickers on new car don't agree
2019 SLC300, with Pirelli Cinturato tires, 225/45R17 front, 245/40R17 rear.
Sticker inside driver's side door states 33/36 psi, front/rear. Tire sizes on this sticker are correct.
Sticker inside fuel filler door states 30/32 psi front/rear.
Which is correct, and how did Benz get this confused?

I had the same question when I bought my 15' CLS400 back in October. The dealership told me to go by the one on the drivers side door not the one on the fuel door. If found over the years that you should be at the high end of the pressure rather than low because the tires end up wearing on the edges more than the middle. Note: the pressure will rise about 2-3psi when you start driving a cold car (unless you filled the tires with nitrogen).... So drive it a bit on the highway to warm up the tires, then go set the psi to the 35.

After futzing around with tire pressure...settled on 34 front, 36 rear on the Pirelli Scorpions that came with ‘18 GLC300 Coupe...only 10K miles...seems to haul the golf clubs around OK.
