500SL
Stock Tires

Does anyone know the brand and name, (if any) of the original stock tires on a 1992 500SL? I need new tires and would like them to be as close to original as possible.

Continental ... or Michelin Pilot Sports.

Thats all I know - may not be accurate.

Check your spare tire. It's probably original and may give you an insight as to what the original tires were. I'm assuming a '92 has a full size spare.

R129.067 (500SL '93)
500SL were delivered with choice of tires but I agree with ChrisB, Michelin Pilot Sport 225/55R16 was popular in 1992.
