Pressure for 20 inch Tires on R 230
I just installed 20 inch Kleemann TS 6 on my Sl 500. The fronts are 20 X 9.5 with 255 35 20 and the rears 20 X 10.5 with 285 30 20. What should be the correct tire pressure.

There are several "rules of thumb", the first of which is:
Inflate the tire with enough air so that during "spirited" driving a chalk mark on the side wall into the tread wears directly to the edge of the tire tread, and not past it.
Sorry this isnt more precise- but inflation pressures are largely subjective.
