Default Bridgestone Potenza tires, correct tire pressure?

Hello,

I have on my R170 a set of Bridgestone Potenza tires, 205/55R16 on front and 225/50R16 at back.

My question is what tire pressure should I use?

Thanks in advance.

Pedro

If they are the run-flats (Mercedes Extended Mobility [have MO on the side]) then 32 front, 35 rear.

What is the Bridgestone Potenza do you have, I am going to need new tires in the future and thinking about the RE750, looking for low noise. How do you like yours?

Check the door jam on the drivers side and it will give you the tire pressure to use.

I searched before but I didn't find any post discussion tyre pressure for this tires. Only discussions on tires types and brands.

Gbarringer100: I have Potenza RE050A tires. I don't have experience with other tires. This car is fare new to me so I afraid I can't really help you on that.
I will check the jam door, thanks.
