[W126 Coupe] What is the most suitable size rim and tyrefor560SEC

[Barry Corno]

I agree with Jay "17" is much better for ride and tire wear. I am
getting

Twice the mileage with the same tire as I did with "18"'s. I had 18's

For 80 K miles and now 17's for over 40 K.

Hi!

 

Well i have the AMG 17" Splits on mine and definately would not go any
bigger.. the ride is quite firm with these... but then i have lowered
suspension too!

 

 

Many Thanks & Regards

	That is very subjective!  I have 18X9 rear, 18X8 front on my SEC
and love them.  Can be a little harsh on rough roads.  There are some
who won't go higher than 17".   Depends on your driving style, shape of
suspension, tires you use and the roads you will drive on.  Would be
great if you could find someone close to you with different setups so
you can "test drive" them!

	My ex-wife, bless her heart, has given me a voucher to purchase
a new set of mag wheels and tyres for my 1988 560SEC as a Christmas
present. My question is what is the best size rim and tyre to suit my
coupe?

		Dear MB Coupe members - I just joined your group this
year and am very anxioius to purchase a 1991 560 SEC. I am in Northern
Virginia and have been searching high and low for the "right" auto. My
email is below, please contact me OR please point me in the right
direction to find the vehicle I want - dealerships seem very indifferent
and E-bay doesn't do it for me. HELP! 
		
		Thanks and Happy New Year!

		Contact Bruce Mendel.
		
		He specializes in mint condition, low mileage W126 cars
and I believe he has a coupe for sale right now.
		
		His cars are top dollar, but you'll be better off buying
one of his cars than buying a car with needs. Remember, there is nothing
more expensive than buying a "cheap" Mercedes-Benz.
		
		My compliments on your taste in cars and happy new
year.Regards, Axel J. Wulff610-731-5453 Cellular610-572-4611 Home

		Happy New Year to you Carl..
		
		I'm with Axel about Bruce Mendel (mr-amazing-deals on
ebay). We have seen one of his cars last summer at an MB meet. It was
nothing less than fantastic, to my mind.. 
		
		There's also a '91 for sale on ebay currently. 45K miles
that might pique your fancy.... Take a look.
