#1 of 7 SL-550 tires by rcf8000 Nov 12, 2006 (1:08 pm)
I'm planning on buying my wife an SL-550, but I don't like the fact that they come with "performance" tires. (It's not a sports car in my mind.) Is there anyone out there who has replaced the OEM tires with "all-season" tires? Replies to this message: bcelani (Dec 06, 2006 8:33 pm)

Replying to: rcf8000 (Nov 12, 2006 1:08 pm) It's a sports car. My wife has a 92 500SL. The stock z-rated Pirelli's have given way to Continental all-season touring tires. Car handles quite nicely, even on sharp turns and at anything less than 100mph
#3 of 7 Tire search for 1999 SL500 by irvney Sep 18, 2008 (8:14 pm)
I am running Yokohama AVS DB S2 on my Mercedes LS500. I have 21,000 miles on the tires and need to replace them. The front tires are worn out. The car jerks into the worn ruts on the interstate and creates a dangerous driving situation.   The original set of tires also created the car to move eradically into the freeway "tracks" and when the Yokohamas were new, they didn't jerk to the worn part of the freeway as they do now. We know that the problem is the tires and not the car.   What tires do other SL owners recommend?   Thanks! Replies to this message: p0926 (Sep 19, 2008 11:59 am)

Replying to: irvney (Sep 18, 2008 8:14 pm) I'd go to TireRack.com, see what the Best Sellers are for your particular model and read some of the reviews. Then choose the one that's best for you.   -Frank
#5 of 7 SL500 Fog Lamp by seriesworld Nov 04, 2008 (7:36 pm)
I have a 1999 SL500 with a broken fog lamp lenz, Do I have to replace the entire light or can I replace just the bulb and lenz? How do you remove the bumper? Replies to this message: p0926 (Nov 05, 2008 9:35 am)

Replying to: seriesworld (Nov 04, 2008 7:36 pm) On the SLKs it's a sealed unit so you have to replace the entire light. I would guess that the SLs are the same way.
