[W126 Coupe] Tire Pressure

[Gary]

to add to the discussion...for a while, i ran my front wheels high and parts started to loosen and break.  i.e.  my right turn signal arm broke, my headlight filaments broke.  so run them at 34.

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.

  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?
