SL500 and A-CLASS
Who makes tires for the SL500
Last Friday I tried to order me some new Michelin tires for my SL500 and discovered Michelin does not make tires for the SL500 any more. Is that true?
So I order me some Toyo tires.
The message below came from the http://www.michelinman.com/toolkit/advisor/vehicle.html web site.

I've just put 4 new Pirellis on my 2003 500SL Launch Edition. I was NOT please with the Michelin tires which they replaced.
