What does the door say?

Also, what's your driving style like, typical how many people/how much weight in the car?

I would go with these, they sound about right. If anything put a couple psi less in each tyre and see how the steering feels.

The steering in my ST 290 DSG is very sensitive to front tyre pressure. Anything above 39psi with normal passenger load makes the steering feel twitchy at speed. Rear doesn't make too much difference, so tend to run 39 all round. Recommended is 39/38 front/rear according to filler flap. Tyre wear seems even after 10k miles too.

Yes, my 300 seems very sensitive to it too, more than I'm used to on this type of car but fair enough.

Mine had been feeling a little odd for a couple of days this week and last night the pressure warning sounded. Checked it and the suspect tyre (front right) was at 30psi. Pumped it up and all good again. Checked it for evidence of what might be causing a slow puncture but nothing I could see.

Sticker says 39/35 up to three occupants, I'm running 40/36. I want as much steering response as I can get without ruining the ride. I got a bit spoilt with the GT86 steering.

what about 2-3 person and high speeds? I'm driving through Germany next month and hoping to have some fun on the Autobahn :)
No crazy speeds but won't be sticking to 70 mph for sure :drive1:

I do have in my 300 38psi on all four tyres.
Germany few months back gave me top speed of 164 mph (263 kmh) :cheeky:
