Tires For A 76 Sl
Hello, I have a 1976 450 SL and yes I want to keep the orginal tire size (205/70/14) not an upgrade.
Best high speed tire I can find is Firstone Affinity LH-30. I looked at the Michelin Harmony but that is only an S speed rated tire. Any input would be appreciated Thank You JOB |

And those are bundt-cake rims, correct?
No matter what tires you choose, ballancing em on *both* sides can make a difference. |

BF Goodrich Traction T/A. You may have to drop to 195, but it won't matter. The tires have outstanding bite for an all-season, both wet and dry. Cornering is quite impressive. There are some good touring tires out there, but this is the best H-rated performance all-season tire for your car, IMO. Upgrade to a 15-inch wheel and you can get them V rated.
Search the archives for testimonials, and view the ratings on the Tire Rack site. This is the tire you want. |

Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental all have excellent tires in the correct size. Check the TireRack site for comparison shopping and excellent prices.

If your local Sears can find a set, consider the Michelin Weatherwise Sport for about $62 each. They have a T speed rating, and I don't think you'll find better in this size. I got a set and I'm happy, especially at the price. No serious vibration issues. I think they're being discontinued, and they're only sold at Sears. My local store was able to pick some up from a store in another city.
Oh, and they look "right" on a Mercedes.
