just installed these 19" rims ride quality is very good. The installer put 28 psi front and 34 rear. 28 seems a bit low, might bent rims if hit a big pot hole. so i put 34 psi all around the ride is a lil bit stiffer, but over all its very smooth. no body lean when turning, feels like a whole different car. what psi do you guys recommend for 19? is it ok if i put 32 psi up front, i am planning on taking a trip to New York City in the rims soon.

Where did you buy these rims? I'm looking to get a pair of 18" for my 500SEL, if I don't sell it of course. Not true AMG wheels, but I don't wanna pay true AMG prices! Let me know!!

hope you're not running the Dunlop SP 9000...arguably the WORST tyre I have ever used IMHO. Horrible wear characteristics, lumpy as hell as they get old, loud...Blech!

32-36 all around should be fine.

yeah thats what i am thinking too, but i am not sure if i want to spent that much money right now. if its a couple hundred dollars i'd get it done. cause i might drive this car for a couple more yrs and then get a 97-up s class or even a 2000-up if i am lucky enough [:D]
