What is the correct tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz SLK280?
Recommended tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz SLK280 tires is 32 psi to 35 psi, set by Mercedes-Benz manufacturer and based on model's original equipment tire size to optimize vehicle performance, fuel efficiency and safety.
Where do I find the recommended tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz SLK280?
Mercedes-Benz SLK280 recommended tire pressure can be found in owner's manual, on a tire placard on the side of driver's door or door jam, on the trunk lid, in the console or on the fuel door. Tire inflation will be listed in psi (pounds per square inch), bar or kPa (kilopascals).
How to check Mercedes-Benz SLK280 tire pressure?
To check Mercedes-Benz SLK280 tire pressure you will first need to determine its recommended tire pressure for the front and rear tires. Take off tire valve caps and use a tire pressure gauge to check tire inflation in every tire. Adjust Mercedes-Benz SLK280 tire pressure to its recommended levels. If overinflated, let some air out by pressing down the center plunger in the valve stem. If underinflated, add air with tire inflator. Recheck tire pressure to make sure all tires are properly inflated. Replace the valve stem caps. Make sure to check tire pressure when tires are "cold" and have not been driven for at least 3 hours. Remember that the front and rear tire pressures may differ.
What is proper tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz SLK280 replacement tires?
If you replace Mercedes-Benz SLK280 original equipment tires with non-stock tires that have different size or load capacity, new tires may require substantially different inflation pressures. Use our Replacement Tire Pressure Calculator to find proper tire inflation when switching to a different tire size.
What is optimal winter tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz SLK280?
Tire pressure fluctuates with ambient temperatures. When temperatures drop, Mercedes-Benz SLK280 tires may lose approximately 1 psi of air pressure for every 10 degree Fahrenheit decrease. During winter Mercedes-Benz SLK280 tires can be inflated 3 to 5 psi above the recommended tire pressure settings to compensate for lower temperatures. Do not overinflate above the maximum tire inflation pressure value indicated on tire sidewall. Make sure to check tire pressure regularly in the winter to keep tires properly inflated for a safe ride on snow and icy roads.
Is my Mercedes-Benz SLK280 equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)?
If your Mercedes-Benz SLK280 is built after 2007, it is most likely equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Check owner's manual to see if your model has TPMS.
Why is my Mercedes-Benz SLK280 TPMS warning light on?
