Tyre pressures

[James Williams]

Got a 2003 clk270cdi auto with AMG wheels. Fitted new tyres- front are 215/45 Zr18 rears 245/35 Zr 18 what tyre pressure should I be using.

 

[Blobcat]

Id start with the pressures listed inside the fuel filler cap

 

[JBell]

Shouldn't the tyre sizes be

225/40 R18 front
255/35 R18 rear

Those are the tyres that fit the AMG wheels

Is it a W208 or W209 series car?

 

[John Laidlaw]

Is it a W208 or W209 series car?

Should be 209 I think JB for that year?

 

[JBell]

Should be 209 I think JB for that year?

Thought so, on the cusp so thought I would ask, in which case it is the same as the one I had which had the tyre sizes I stated on 18" AMG III wheels

 

[James Williams]

Yes it's a w209
These are the tyres that fit?
What pressure did you put in yours

 

[LostKiwi]

As above. Start at the pressures listed in the filler cap. If it's too hard lower. I tend to run our cars at 32-36 unless heavy laden where I use recommended.
