[W126 Coupe] Tires and alignment for SL

[RONNY GEENEN]

Paul:

The garage that service my cars for the last 16 years are specialized in Mercedes, BMW, Jaguars and Porche. And they have a fully computerized lining machine.
Here is the address: ABZ Automotive, 605 E Arrow Hwy, Glendora, CA 91740. Phone: 800-803-9590 or 626-963-0888.
They do not sell tires.

  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!
