Luke ... your help please

Hello Luke,

THose of us on the SLK55 board are trying to resolve a weight problem.

Could you please help us and identify what the weight is on these tires?

My car came with Continental SportContact2: 225/40 ZR18 92Y and 245/35 ZR18 92Y

Regards,

Jesse

Luke-
Being the tire (and wheel) god that you are.... Maybe you can tell us whether or not the SLK55 OEM whels are available from Tirerack, what they weigh (front & rear), and...whether or not the Performance Package #030 wheels might (someday) be available from Tirerack (yeah, right!), and what they weigh (front & rear)?

...a god would be able to tell us...or at least divine the answer....LOL

A true Tire and Wheel Monger of Epic Stature might even go out of his way to find out due to the unrelenting and ever-faithful admiration and devotion of his loyal followers....

depends on the weather
Since I can't seem to get any cooperation from SLK55 owners I can not answer these questions. We have not had 1 here to measure and inspect and AMG has not realeased the wheels from that model to the aftermarket yet

EXACTLY!!!

Plus they'll be stopping at AMG Manufaktur for a pit stop to replace the CF trim with wood and leather, to wrap the roll-hoops in leather, and to add some mouse-fur....
