Hello
We have owned a 2004 January registered SLK 200 R170 since January 2012. When we bought our SLK the dealer had clearly installed AMG type alloys (I don't think they are real Mercedes OEM supplied AMG wheels) which had Runway Enduro-916 225/40 ZR18 92W (which I think would be termed a budget type) tyres fitted.
The mileage was 27500 which has just topped 42000. We need new tyres now and from my web searching I am blown away by how many makes and models of tyres there are available.
I have narrowed down to a shortlist but even then I have no idea of what would really be a the right tyre for the SLK.
I would like to ask please for the benefit of the vast experience of the SLK people out there for a recommendation. I'm guessing it must be subjective for a whole bunch of reasons such as maker, model, price, how many miles might be obtained for a driving style and even what the handling feels like.
I would probably descibe our driving style as conservative in as much as we don't throw it around corners or burn up the highway at fast numbers.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Bobc
