I just got a set of BFG G-Force Sports from Tire Rack (great service, btw). It would appear that they are underinflated. The shop that mounted, balanced & installed them set them at the Mfg rec. pressure, but they just look low.

The tires themselves are rated for 44 psi. The car is "spec'd" for 28psi front & 30psi rear.

The car is an '05 E320 cdi, with 18" AMG wheels & 245/40's front & 235/60's rear.

Any recommendations? Air 'em up, or leave as-is?

Thanks,
Andy

Maybe an easier question?

What is the recommended pressure for the E55? I can't find it on MBusa and a search here under W211, E55 & this forum don't seem to mention much outside of TPMS & drag/track info.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

Andy - i use 42 Front and 36 Rear with PS2's - as recommended by Luke way way back.

Eddie,

Much thanks

rule of thumb would be follow the car manufacturers recommended pressure unless you are looking for a specific affect for given conditions like reducing understeer

Sorry to cut into the thread, but I've got a tire pressure questions as well

I have 235/35/19 on the front and 265/30/19 on the rear
It's for a CLK 500, factory 17" wheel spec is 30psi front 33psi rear

should I still stick to these or use something else?

I've read people have 33-35 for front and 36-38 for rear for 19"s. Is that recommended?

Thanks

I would flip the numbers around for better handling

35f
32r

Luke I have been running 30 psi in the 245x45x17's on the E500. What would you recommend? thanks Jim
