Paul - If you are going to possibly purchase tires from TireRack I would
appreciate it if you click to them from my web site. If you purchase they
send me a few dollars that helps maintain the web site. - Thanks, Terry

Subject: [W126 Coupe] Tires and alignment for SL

 

Time for new shoes for the '90 500 SL; recommended size (and currently on
the car) is 225x55x16 all around.

 

What is the most current list wisdom as to:

 

1) tire size (I'm not considering new wheels or a staggered set-up at this
time); would slightly wider tires give any benefit?

2) tire rating; my aggressive driving days are behind me, so Z is definitely
ridiculous, but what's a good daily driver that can handle "a little more"?

3) brand and model;

4) where to buy; I'll check tirerack.com and costco, of course; any other
suggestions?

 

Camber is wrong on rear: outside wearing excessively. So, I also need a good
alignment/suspension shop in So.Cal. (S/E LA County, Orange County).

 

Thanks for any and all advice!
