i need a single rear tire to replace one with side wall damage.
the oem is a michelin ps2 285/30ZR19.

Have you checked with a local Mercedes-Benz dealer? They might still have a few in a warehouse somewhere. Failing that, there's probably no way to safely replace just one tire. Sucks, but there it is.
At this point, unless your rear wheels are 10" wide, Michelin doesn't have a solution for R230 AMG SLs with 19" rims. I've been looking for tires for my 2008 SL55 and am not thrilled with the options I've found so far.

the dealers do not stock the tires and recommended run flats instead.
turns out michelin still makes a ps2 in a 295/30ZR19 size which fits the same rims.
i just had them installed

My 2008 SL63 came with Pirelli P Zero, these were designed for the car and
have an extra inner wall to stop it wiggle when accelerating.
Good luck

mine were "285/30 ZR 19".
the ZP designates zero pressure (run flat).
michelin sells these ZP pilot sport 2's as a replacement for the older non-run flats.
