Pilot Sport on E500 tire pressure?
I'm wondering what tire pressure setup to use on my new Pilot Sport's mounted on an '05 E500. Front is 245/40 on an 18x8" wheel, rear is 275/35 on an 18x9" wheel. All purchased from TR. 
Should I be using the 42/36 guidance for the E55 + Continental guys?
The car definitely pushes (hey, it's front heavy) and could be better but most of my driving is highway, not twisties.
thanks!

I am confused. I thought since the rear are the drive wheels and they are bigger, the tire pressure should be higher than the front.
For my 2004 CLK320-Coupe, the recommended tire pressures (for 100 KM/H and up) for the staggered 16-inch setup are Front=30 and Rear=33.
