grats on the SL65.... as far as tire pressure, we have been keeping it at spec for these tires, but it will change when we put different tires on it. For street takes offs the spec pressure seems to work good without too much fish tailing on the car

ive been busy , ill get pics soon

i was digging through the trunk to find no spare, in its place was a cover that could work for more storage space i guess

under that was the jack and other tools as well as the place to mount a spare

so do we get a spare? can we put one in?
