- 2008 S204 C220CDI Elegance Estate Auto, 2008 R171 facelift SLK280 Auto.
I have a C220 204 estate on 17's - in my case 245/40 Goodyear Eagle F1's on the rear and now 225/45 Michelin Crossclimates on the front (previously Eagle f1's), but at 33psi. Ride is lovely, and even if I have to inflate for full load (as in booze cruise day) it's about 38psi on the rears. No way would I put 42psi in my tyres, it's way too much and would destroy the ride. My car is Elegance trim - wonder if OP's 205 in SE trim has harder suspension.
