Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / January 20081971 Mercedes 220 tire recommendations
I've seen some discussions of what tires are best for this model - I'm having to get 4 new tires to replace the 175SR14 88S Michelin XZX that are worn and cracked on it. Some have suggested going up to 185/70 or 195/70. Any suggestions? I'd be guided by the model's original tire size as the starting point from which to deviate toward handling (70 profile) or comfort.  Signature© 2008 T.G.Lambach.

The /8 models suffer from a fragile front suspension and steering gear box. They are not made for superwide and superflat supertires. Already with orignal 14'' tires after each bumper on the road you have to align front wheels and the steering box wears out very fast if the moments are too large. Stay best with 15'' 195 to have enough air under the rim and to enyjoy stable directional steering. SignatureRoland Franzius |
