18 tyre pressure?

[Foe]

Hi having my car just under a month, I've not really thought about the tyre pressures, until now. I usually check the inflation once a month.
My w210 has non standard wheels, but instead has the 18" R230 SL Avior Alloy fitted.
Can someone please advise of the correct tyre pressure for both front and rear.
Thanks

Try 33 alround buddy , unless the car is very heavily loaded . That's how I roll on both Mercs .

Excellent thanks. How much when fully loaded?

Good question , I would leave the fronts the same and up the rears to 36/37 , but that's just what I do .

If it all goes wrong it's probably written inside the petrol cap cover

A good point, thanks.Will follow your lead on this one. But the ones in the petrol cap aren't they for the original 16" alloys, or does it not matter?
I hate getting old, you seem to get confused and question everything!!

Can’t go far wrong with Wighty’s pressures , that’s what I ran on 18s- barring that I think the Michelin site has recommended pressures

Thanks. I'll follow his lead.

Once a month, do you at least do a visual check each day before driving?
The lower the tyre profile the more important it is to maintain correct pressures, especially on the front.
Hit even a small pothole with under-inflated tyres and you could regret not checking more often.

Excellent advice, thanks.

Wheel size has little bearing on pressure. The vales in the filler cap will work pretty well for most sizes you can fit. As suggested by Wighty 33 is a decent start point.

That's no something that gets said much

Have you not got a Dog then ?

Oh no. Am I going to regret it!?
