Tire Pressures

[steve1173]

Have an 03 CLK500, Mercedes says for the tire pressures 30front & 33 rear but over 100mph 35 front & 38 rear. From what I am reading on some forums due to the heavy engine up front people running 30 & 35 up front normal driving are encountering premature sidewall wear from underinflation & some are suggesting 36-37 up front. What do you think. Also using the 100mph ratings would any problem be using them for just regular driving.

The heavy front tyre wear is probably down to people turning the steering whilst stationary rather than the engine weight.

Please stick with what M.B tell you. anyhow what are you doing 100mph in Florida for, I understand they lock you up for such an offence.
