[W126 Coupe] Tire Pressure

[Mike Ramay]

If Charlene is going to be doing most of the trip over 100 mph, then 40-45
is good. Otherwise, 32-36 is fine. Lower pressure is a little smoother,
higher a little better response. I'd leave them at 34. Don't forget to check
the pressure in the spare tire - nobody remembers to check them until it's
too late.

 

Tell her Hey for me!!

 

Later,

Mike R.

My wife is driving her 1986 560 SEC from Oregon to California tomorrow
(Monday) and I want to set the tire pressure. I know there has been lots of
talk about correct pressure, but the Les Schwab people who mounted the tires
suggested 40-45 Lb. psi. When I got the car back from the Medford Mercedes
dealership last week, all 4 tires had been set to 34 LB. psi.

 

The car has 225 / 45 ZR 17 94W on the front and 235 / 45 R17 93V on the
back. What should I set the pressure at?
