1986 560 Sl Tires

I am presently running Mich 205/65R14 on my 86 560Sl and are not happy with the amount of side to side roll I am getting. What is the correct tire for this car. I was told to go up to a 16" tire and wheel, but I really don't want to spend the money needed to change both the tire and rims at this time. I had the entire front end gone over, all necessary parts replaced, encluding the sterring box and still get front end drift. Help

you have too much sidewall deflection ... there really is only 1 way to eliminate that problem and you have already said you do not wnat to do it .... you might try running the tires at a higher air pressure for a temporary improvement
