There should be a placard label on the inside of the left front door which details tyre pressures for your car.

I would suggest you playing around with tyre pressures on your 350, justing changing them within a couple of PSi and see what effect it has on the ride quality. small changes can make a big difference, especially with low profiles. The X-350 does suffer from less good low speed ride quality especially over small sharp bumps, it is a function of the air bag suspension. I know owners who haved moved wheel size down to 18 inch to improve the ride. New tyre laws also mean that each new tyre you buy from next year should have indicators of its wet grip and noise generated ( like washing machine's star rating, but not as clean!!)Let us know how you get on.

Have a look in the drivers hand book. Otherwise check the vin plate on the passenger A post. M

On mine (2008) the tyre info is on the back of the plate covering the fuel filler. Fine print that you can't read at night at the garage with the air hose in your hand :-)

Sorry about the delay but the tyre pressures are on a sticker on the petrol filler cap but is awkward to read as said before.
