Can someone tell me the recommended tyre pressures for 7J x 205/60 x 15 as fitted to a 1994 -2000 'C' Class (I believe)?
Reason I ask is I've acquired and fitted alloys of this size & type to mine (below) which had standard steels size 6.5J x 195/65 x 15's with recommended standard load pressures of 29 lbs/sq in. F & R.
Do I stick with this pressure or that of the former?
Thanks, Tom.

As far as I know you use the tyre pressures specified for the car. I got bigger alloys for my CLK and they came with the tyre pressures set as specified in the car manual.

standard works fine Tom

as I have made the same change as you. In fact, I'm running the rears just a touch softer at 2.1 bar, rather than the 2.2 the tankflap says. I found the back just a bit too firm at 2.2. 2.0 on the fronts is spot on. I have Michelin Pilot Premacies all round.
I like the Barum Bravuris I've just put on the SL. Definite contenders when the Pilots come to be retired.
