[W126 Coupe] 18 inch

[Paul Samarin]

I concur.  I really miss my SEC.  It had 18x245 in front and 18x275  
in back and the last tires I had on it before I totaled it (at 1 mph,  
by destroying the hood, both radiators, etc., with the tow hitch of  
the SUV who stopped unexpectedly), were Z rated or nearly so.  It was  
firm but not punishing.  Wish I had room for another one, but  
meanwhile I'm enjoying the R129...
