Ok propted by the "check your tyre pressure" thread it has dawned on me that I have no idea what PSI I should be running.
Tyres are:
215 45ZR 17's

Any ideas???
 
Judging by the posts in general I would say between 30 - 33psi for the front and about 32 - 34 for the backs. They all seem to be about the same sort of pressures.
 
When I called MB's technical department (about 18 months ago) about tyre pressures (I was wondering whether the pressures on the petrol cap also applied to 17" wheels) because the ride on the ContiSportContact Continentals was so stiff and unforgiving (not anymore, since I got the Pirelli P Zero Rossos today), they said that the pressures applied to ALL wheel and tyre sizes approved for the car. Therefore, on a half load basis, you should be running 30 front, and 33 rear.
