[W126 Coupe] AMG 2-PCS vs. AMG 3-PCS

[jflyer2 at aim.com]

Yep. I run 41.5 -42.0 front and 40 rear. Made two trips with it this past week... Sarasota, FL to Miami and back (232 miles each way in under 3 hrs. Then Sarasota, north to Ft. Stewart, Ga. (near Savannah) 378 miles each way in 6 hrs.

High speed rated tires + radar detector + 560 SEC = GREAT FUN!!!

John,

   Just an F.Y.I. I am on my 3rd set of tires with your same set up 8.5 X ET17s / 245/45/17 Y

My first two sets got real bad milage, as my pressure was kept at 32-33. The current set is

Been run at 40 lbs. and I am going to get 35 to 40 K on them. I personnel did not like 16s or 18s

 

B.C.

I don`t know about the ET30 rims but the 8.5 x 17 ET18s are perfect for the front of our W126s or the R129 SLs, I imagine they would fit on the back axle however the correct 10 x 17 ET17s look meatier/better, plus one has an extra 3 inches of tyre to play with :-)



 



All the best, John Poole `91 560 SEC
