Might be kinda pricy depending on what suspension work is needed. Looks pretty 
clean and miles are low though.

Re: [MBZ] Tires for old cars

[David Bruckmann via Mercedes]

The tires are tubeless, but would originally have had tubes and can be run
safely with or without depending on the application.

On the DS, with rim landings that are not "safety landings", you ought to
run tubes, but plenty of people do not. The 2CV tires are also tubeless.
But since the rims frequently leak, tubes are a help. In both cases the
tires are designed to safely accommodate tubes, not a given for most modern
tires because of heat buildup.

And yes, price is high, but again depends on how you use the car. Export
price is without VAT. Free shipping to the US.

Re: [MBZ] HAS LIEN On IT. TITLEMAX! 2008 Mercedes-Benz r-class R 350 Sport Wagon 4D, $1, 700

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

The engine would need to be checked to see if it’s even worth dealing with. It 
looks like it’s parked at a yard so that’s why I was thinking a mech. Maybe the 
mech told the owner that it can’t be saved and the owner left it.

Re: [MBZ] Great deal -- 1993 Mercedes Benz SL300 Hard Top,$100

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I bought one 3 years ago maybe for $200. The guy’s neighbor took it off a new 
SL then the car got totaled a few months later. The owner moved and told the 
neighbor he could have it to sell. It is In basically new condition. White like 
that one. I was interested mostly for the glass if mine ever got smashed.

[MBZ] The Texas Panhandle

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Out visiting dealers all over the Texas Panhandle today in the former Poos CDI 
with 347k on it. It’s 104 wind blowing about 30 mph, and the smell of cow crap 
heavy in the air. Somewhere between Amarillo and Stratford TX I opened up the

I noticed on all of their pages, Longstone has inner tubes listed.

Were the original fitments with inner tubes?

Are they helpful or required?

I also noticed they list prices both with and without VAT.
Which price does a US buyer pay?

I will agree with Andrew -- nearly $500 for an automobile tire is quite
high. I can buy tires for my Kenworth for that, and those tires weigh on
the order of 135 pounds!

Good deal, although I rarely see these (when separated from their car) for more 
than a few hundred bucks. Needs a headliner, but they're really easy to do, or 
just remove to carry in to the upholstery shop and install it yourself once 
they finish with it.

There's so little painted areas on these it's easy to have someone wrap them to 
match the color of your car. I don't think I would bother with the hassle and 
expense of repainting one.

Re: [MBZ] Tires for old cars

[David Bruckmann via Mercedes]

Vague in a bad way. Not quite bad enough for me to get rid of them, but bad
enough that I would never repeat the error.

I'm thinking of ordering a set of Michelin MXV-P tires
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/185hr14-michelin-mxv-p.html from
Longstone. I've ordered from them for my Citroëns several times over the
years. Note that these are genuine Michelins, not licensed copies. For a
while they were made in France, lately in Serbia.

The 2CV got a set of
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/125sr15-michelin-x.html and the DS got
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/180hr15-michelin-xas.html on the *front*
and narrower https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/165vr15-michelin-xas.html on
the *rear*, as was supplied from the factory!

The tires arrived quickly (ordered from UK on Monday, received in
California on Friday) and were cheaper than Coker. Generally free shipping.
Of course vastly more expensive than the Kinergy ($250/tire vs $90), but
also vastly better, IMHO. Depends on how you use the car.

I put Kinergy 195/75R-14 tires on my W116, mostly because they most closely
matched the circumference and characteristics of the original 185/80R14
tires. *They are vague* compared to the Michelin 205/70/14 it had
previously!

You can order them from PSA too. It is the part with a serial number and 
constitutes a “gun”. You have to get it shipped to a shop with a FFL or buy it 
from one.
