I would like to know how much air pressure to run in the tires for both of my cars. I thought Luke would be the best to ask. The cars I have are a 1990 Nissan 300ZX TT, and a 1988 Mercedes Benz 300E. On the Nissan I have 245 40 17 front and 285 30 18 rear. On the Benz I have 215 45 17 all around. What would you recommend for pressure. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and some of the roads have some pretty radical potholes in them. I had 205 40 17 on my 190E and I bent both front ones (possibly from not having enough air). Thanks in advance.
Steve

Look at the rear fuel flip for the MB - it has the listings there.

As a general rule of of thumb, I prescribe to 32 lbs or 200 pascal all round.

I have seen the factory label on the fuel filler door, and I thought you may would want to inflate them a little higher so that the rim has better protection because of less sidewall. The factory label is for 15" and now I am running 17".
