Uneven Wear on my Rear Tires
I noticed that my rear tires (both summer and winter) are worn unevenly. The center groove shows more wear than the outer grooves.
I was in a tire store a few days ago and the guy said that he saw this a lot in Mercedes cars. He asked for my tire pressures which are 30 (front) and 33 (rear). He said that I should put 35 PSI in the rear. This is strange because the wear pattern shows over-inflation, not under.
What do you think? Should I add more air to the rear? 30-33 is the recommendation tire pressure.
My car is 2004 CLK320.
Summer: 225-45-17, 245-40-17
Winter: 205-55-16, 225-50-16
