R129...what PSI are you running?

[warren128]

Hey Guys,

I searched around on the forums and got some info about recommended tire pressures. It seems that the general rule is to start with the recommended pressures on the door jamb, then adjust from there (mostly higher). Sounds reasonable.

I got some new shoes for my baby today. They are Dunlop SP9000's. My previous tires that came with the car were Dunlop SP8000's that the previous owner ran at over 40-45 psi all around.

My rim size/tire setup is per AMG specs:

Front: 17x8.5, 235/45-17
Rear: 17x10, 265/40-17

The tire installer used the door jamb numbers on my '90 500SL. They are currrently at 30 front/35 rear.

Anyone else out there running similar specs? What pressures are you running them with? I thought I'd ask here on the SL forum to be more model specific. My goal is to optimize tire wear and freeway performance (cruising speed range: 70-85mph).

Thanks,

Warren
