TIRE HELP PLEASSEEEEE
I have an 05 sl 600 and was running ccw 20's that were formerly on amgfan's car and I was running 305 25 20 and they were great, well the time has come that they are beyond shot and now Michelin doesn't have any super sports anywhere in that size. Are there are other sizes people are running without having rubbing issues? My tech at work urged me to take a route through town to get home as they could go at any second.

you dont have to use michelin, but you have to use the right size for the wheel. Try Hankook, bridgestone, falken, look at tire rack and go by size

I looked at 305 25 20 and all that was popping up was the super sport and it is back ordered and not in production right now

I have the hankook 255/30/20 and 285/30/20 on my SL600 and Pzero on my SL65, however have 20/21 on the SL65. Both brands seem good to me, no complaints. Here is the fit on the SL600: https://www.flickr.com/photos/102810...4163/lightbox/

Front is right size at 26.1 inch tall but rear 285/30/20 is 26.8 inch tall.
I have been using 255 30 20 and 285/25/20 but if you use 285/30/20 on the back and did not have any issues I sure like to use the 30

I am changing to 20 inch on the back, tried to get Michelin Super Sport to
match my fronts, can't get them anywhere in Europe. Going to have to put
Continental 5P , nearest I can find.
