[W126 Coupe] Tire pressures

[Axel Wulff]

Dick,

I got the tires from Tire Rack and they came with information on proper 
mounting, tire care, rotation and air pressure.

I run 32 psi in my 195/65 15" snow tires, but on 17" rims the sidewall is 
narrower and will need higher pressure to avoid excess flex.



Regards,
