I had 36 psi front and 34 psi rear when I had 19" Brabus Monoblock VI.

Tried em all
I have been experimenting from 29psi on up for fronts and 32psi on up for rears.Yesterday I went highest yet at 36 front and 38 rear.Car handles better,tighter,ride is slightly harder but nothing terrible.Im going to keep it right here for now,cause I like the way the car feels.I too am wondering why we would have more psi up front then in the rear? I have a staggered 19" setup and was always told to have more pressure in back

The slightly lower psi at the rear is to give the car more grip during launch. I have tried a few setups also, I am most happy with 36/34.

Harris has more experience in wheels and tires... but myself and many others prefer higher psi to protect the wheels & to reduce the chances of underinflation that is typical of many MBs, especially V8 equipped benzos
