Stupid Tire Pressure Question

Luke and others:
I recently switched from OEM 2001 16" C320 Sport Rims and Tires (225 front and rear) to OEM 2005 17" C320 Sport Rims and Tires (225 front, 245 Rear).

Should I switch tire pressure from the stock setup?

Thanks,
Bill

On my C230Sedan, I'm running right at the recommended pressures (for light load). 26F/30R is what I think it is. (225/45-17 F&R)

I tried running a little higher (30/34) but wore the center of the tire too much at this pressure.

Hope this helps.

Do any of your customers report dmatre's problem (fast wearing centers at 30/33 pressure)?
