depends on the weather
while the proper pressure would be 30 front and 33 rear I would opt for

36 front and 32 rear to improve handling

Luke: Why would you set the front pressure higher than the rear?

For my 2004 CLK320, the recommended tire pressures are 28 front and 29 rear. For driving over 100 KMH, they recommend 30 front and 33 rear. I have upgraded the tires to 17-inch tires (225-45-17 and 245-40-17) and I am currently running with Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. Since I do mostly highway, I set it to 31 front and 34 rear.

What would you recommend?
