This is a picture of label on our USA Smarts. It is very different from yours. The manual mentions only 155 and 175 wheels. That is it.

Thanks again,

Dan

I have tried to order a Brabus part, but my dealer can't access that order until they have a VIN to enter into the computer, and since the Brabus has not yet been delivered to my dealer, they can't order the part or see the part or price the part. Since we don't get the Pulse here, those tires will probably be locked out of our U.S. parts list.

Thank you, so much for getting back to me so soon with exact info that I was looking all over.

Two of the local smart centers advised me to use the same psi on all 4 wheel. Crazy but it is true.

Hey listen I feel that I owe you one. If there anything I can do for you here in USA please let me know.

Thank you so much. I could not wait until tomorrow to check the pressure in tires.

And, BTW, I am doing exactly what Dan is, and am having trouble getting both sizes by the same manufacturer. Yours are all Continentals, right?

I have a set of 6 spoke pulse wheels on my smart and I love it. The problem is that my smart passion came with 155 in the front and 175 in the back. Not a good ride so I replaced them with pulse 175 in front and 195 in the back. But the problem that I am having is what is the proper preasure for pulse tires? I need your help on that. Please let me know what is recomended tire presure for pulse 6 spoke tires. Thank you, Dan

A few months ago I shipped some parts to Canada and was apalled at the red tape and extra fees to ship internationally through UPS. The Postal Service here isn't much better and won't even keep their appointments with me to create a business account. In an effort to help you as much as I can, here is the part number for the Black Tridion Touch-up paint Q0007800 V002 C47L 00. Armed with this I should expect your local smart center to be able to get it in for you. Thank you. Paul.

I you are going to put something lightweight back there I'd use a good hard aluminum. If used to design a towing contraption... use steel. they will use a round rod blank in the lathe and in minutes come up with your "bolt"
