I dont know if this is the right place to ask wich tire pressure i should use on my car.. :dunce: I have a mercedes 220 cdi, from 2004, and my rear tires look a bit flat, with low pressure. And the rainning season has just begun here in Portugal, and i want to be safe.. Does anyone can tell me how much i should use in it?
Do you need tires measures?
Thanks to all ;)
 
I don't know how much pressure you need, but if you still have your owner's manual, it should tell you.
 
its in french :S i cant read french :S If you could tell me the normal tyre pressure.. should be fine. :) i have been told 32 psi, but i think its low..
 
There should be some number on a plaque inside the door, at least that's where they are located on cars sold here in the states. I'm sure you could swing by a tire place too and they'd be able to help you, I'm assuming they offer free air checks in Europe.
 
I have searched that plate, and i only find 2 in the door of passenger, and they only talk about maximum wheights and series numbers.. stuff like that.
Really? i thought about that had was fearing that could take some money for that because some tyre companies advertise about free tyre checks.. so, maybe its not free. But i will check that. Thanks man ;)

In any case this looks like it might answer your question too:

Apparently there should be something on the fuel door.
 
European cars have them often on the filler cap indeed.

Remember to check your tyre pressures at the beginning of a trip, the prescribed pressures count for 'cold' tyres. I also prefer slightly higher pressures than prescibed, since I rate a better steering response, lower fuel consumption and a better durability higher than comfort.
