[W126 Coupe] bigger tires

[Terry Ratliff]

Markus - What size tires are you using? I have 18" Michelin front: 245-40-18
back: 265-40-18, and when I get on it they rub a little.

Hi gang,

 

I'm looking for a new set of shoes for the SEC.  I have the staggered 18"
setup and have run Dunlop SP9000's in the past and was very happy with them.
To try and save some money, I tried the Kumho Ecsta's and hate them - they
stink in the cold and wet in my opinion.  So, I'm looking to see what
everyone else running the larger wheel setup is using for tires, how much
they paid, how happy they are, etc.  I want something that will grip well in
cold and rain since I'm in the Northeast part of the country where in
November the ground is quite cold.  With the Kumho's the rear end slides
around at that time of year, and rain isn't much better (even when tires
were brand new!).  Even almost bald, the SP9000's gripped well in all
conditions.  Before I just go buy the again, thought I'd see if there were
any recommendations...

 

Thanks!
