[W126 Coupe] Tires and alignment for SL

[Edward Chin]

Hey Ronny, that's pretty close to me, I may have to try them out as the old
shop manager has left the current shop I use.

 

Thanks,

 

Eddie

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!
