The new tires I got for the SL600 are 225/55ZR16 which is the factory size.
BFGoodrich - g-Force COMP-2 A/S The A/S part stands for All Season,
which I probably should not have got as they look like off-road tires

60 is a lot nicer than 70 or 75. The sidewall on a 285 tire is still plenty
tall at 50 profile.
The width of the wheel is really the limiting factor for the contact patch.
I was going to have them widen my old 14" bundts to 8.5 or 9. Could run 50
series 285 or whatever. Then put thicker swaybars

I like the 70 tires, and 65s seem to be ok. Rubber band tars are for
idiots with more money than brain. I watched some bozo blow 2 ties and
bend 2 rims hitting a curb because he was diddling on his cell
phone. You would not believe how funny it was. I saw him drifting
into the curb
Tire pressures are critical on these low profile tires. They wear far faster
than regular rubber if not inflated properly - ask me about the set the wife
went through in 18 months - mainly my fault because I didn’t have the pressure
right - I was using the original tire stock pressure and not
So the fronts are 0.5" wider and the rears are 1.5" wider?
You guys in Los Angeles and Florida can keep the 35% and 40% tall tires.
Buddy of mine put 18s or bigger on his Jetta, within a few months dented all 4
rims.
Problem made worse by the fact that he won't monitor his tire pressures.
R129 Front 16" stock wheel ET/34 Tires= 245/50/16
R230 8.5 Launch wheel ET/35 Tires= 255/40/18
R129 Rear 16" stock wheel ET/34 Tires= 245/50/16
R230 9.5 Launch wheel ET/40 Tires= 285/35/18

Copart accounts are usually only good in a particular state, mainly due to the
individual states’ laws on things like dealer licenses.
You can look on their site and see what’s allowed/required for your state.
That's an idea, I wonder if I could be his agent here

The damage on it doesn't look that bad either, finding parts might be a
PITA. It looks like you have to have some kind of business license to
bid on these cars, or find a broker that will gouge you. I need to look
into setting up some kind of business and getting a license, maybe I'll
go in
Dude, you WANT those wheels for your SL600. It will make it like a totally
different car, believe me. I have a set on my 97 SL500, and it’s a totally
different car with them.
