Correct tire pressure for 19" wheels?

I have a 2005 E55. I purchaed this car pre-owned from a private owner with 5,700 miles.

It has 19" two-piece AMG wheels in a twin-spoke design similar to the stock wheels. The tires are Goodyear Eagle F-1's. Sizes are 245/35 ZR19 in front and 275/30 ZR19 in the rear.

What tire pressures should I be running here? The car's manual and the sticker on the fuel door do not list these sizes.

I'd also appreciate your comments on the Eagle F-1's. They seem to have received good reviews elsewhere. Thanks.

tire pressure is based on your car, not size of tires. Pound per square inch isn't the same as volume So just use the same ones one your fuel door.

Same year and model as me. The TUV Certification for MB factory 19" rims for the E55 lists the specified tire pressures as 2.8 bar front and 2.9 bar rear. That's 41 psi front and 43 psi rear. I have the 19" factory Style 3's on my car with the same size tires as you (in Goodyear F1 Asymetrics) and the tires are fantastic and the ride comfort at the specified pressures is absolutely suitable to my preferences.

Thanks K-55...

You seem to have the most accurate information so far... Let me try 41/43...
