When to Inflate to Max Load PSI
For a heavy-duty vehicle like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, understanding tire pressure is critical, especially when carrying significant loads. The recommended cold tire pressure listed on your door placard is a general guideline for typical loads. However, when your Sprinter is loaded to or near its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), it is essential to adjust your tire pressure to the maximum recommended PSI for maximum load. This information can typically be found on the tire
