18" tire pressure for E500, HELP!!!
For anyone who has changed to 18" wheels and tires....what are you guys running in terms of tire pressure on the front and back tires?
I've tried to get info. but to no avail. The mannual is of no help, and the dealership is telling me 5 diffrent things from 5 diffrent guys. I'm running 18" AMG Style IV wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires on a 2003 E500.
Any help would be great!

I just put 18" staggered wheels on my S430 and asked the same question. I tried 33 and 36 for pressures, but found that the car was better balanced at 35 all around. This makes some level of sense, as the higher rear pressure provides greater traction in the rear when you have the same size all around, but with the wider tires in the rear you are getting greater traction negating the need to raise the pressure.
