2002 SL55 Tyres

[CliveM]

I'm looking for a complete set - any recommendations on what to get and mobile fitters/internet options?

I used this website and got a local cheap tyre place to fit them which worked out the cheapest method.

If that doesn't work for you then i would use Event tyres or Blackcircle.

If you shop around you can save a fair bit and still get some good tyres. They are expensive either way.

Good luck.

Thanks - they look very competitive!
I know the Pirellis have a P Zero "MO" version that is for the Mercedes - it's a fair bit more expensive than the plain P Zero.
Do any of the other brands have a mercedes version - is it worth the preium for the MO??

I recently got four Continental sport contact three's from Kwik Fit. They had a 25% off offer if you buy four
so worked out at £660 for the lot. Was about three months ago so not sure if it's still on or not ?

That's very cheap for Kwik Fit - is that for the 255/18 front 285/18 rear combination? Last time I looked there it was something like £798just for rears.

I usually use Event - last time it was £840 for Conti Sport Contact 3s in the MO fitment. I like Event.

And the winner is.... Continentals from Camskill. Wow they're expensive, mostly because only the two driver's side need replacing (just bought the car, don't ask me why) but that still means 4 new tyres ;(

On the plus side - a trackday at Bedford was a good way to finish them off .......
