[W126 Coupe] How wide tires are you running?

[Ronny Geenen]

How wide tires are you running?Depend where you live.
If you live in a rainy area, forget it. With wider tires you end up loosing control of your wheels much faster.

  I'm debating, 235/45 17 or 245/45 17. Both are close enough to 205/70-14 that the speedo will still be accurate with either. Is hook up an issue for you euro 560 owners with 235? I'm thinking 245 might be better because it provides more contact patch, but if 235 hooks up just as well (Jonathan, we're looking at slightly less than stock euro 560 torque below 2000rpm, right? And the same stall speed as factory right?) it would effectively give me slightly lower gearing.

  Thanks,
  Richard
