White wall tires for '18 S560
Never seen this addressed here - Talking real tires, not covers.
Sources? All-season?
What can you tell me?

What size? Biggest I see on the internet are 17 inch which are for sure smaller than your S560.

I would be shocked if anybody made white walled tires in any size the S Class uses

But pairing old fashion with new style often just looks wrong. White walls look great on a car that is designed for them, that fits that era and look. On an S Class? It will just look strange.

Natural Color of Rubber
The Natural Color of Rubber is actually milky white and remember from old Tony Curtis Rally Movies those classic cars had all White Tires. PhD wifey who worked for the Blood Bank of NY's Research Facility in Liberia West Africa, described how the Firestone workers tapped the Trees to extract the Raw Rubber. Later Bridgestone took over operations.

My Uncle loved Vogue tires back in the day the only tires he would use. They looked great on his 60's Eldorado's and other big boat Caddy's. I think it may look good but I doubt you will find the right size

Absolutely none of the other changes I read about have any appeal for me.
After all, turned 91 today - that makes me a “Classic,” right?

Amazing, they white walls would look cool but they are sold only in smaller sizes. Their are ads in my Hagerty Drives Club Magazine for white walls but 215 seems like the only size which would be a tad small

Of everything I've EVER heard on any forum at any time; I'd give it all up to be able to type, or even say, I just tuned 91 years old!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY "Newbyloub" and I wish you many more to come. And yes, you ARE a Classic

I’ve seen one in the seattle area with gold lines… Car had a lot of mods with an aftermarket color and it looked good. Not my style, but the car does turn heads.
