Mercedes-Benz 220 A Cabriolet W187
Mercedes-Benz 220 W187
- The earliest expression of the 220 model, the W187 fitted 640 - 15 Tyres. In this size we recommend fitting a set of 640 H 15 Avon Super Safety.
- The correct W187 innertube for these tyres is the Michelin 15F.
Mercedes-Benz 220S W180
Mercedes-Benz 220 W180
- The Mercedes-Benz 220 W180 Ponton version from 1956 to about 1960 fitted a 670-13 tyre. Michelin presently make a 6.40/7.00 SR 13 Michelin ZX which is perfect for this car.
- For these tyres the Michelin 13F innertube is ideal.

Mercedes-Benz 220 W115
Mercedes-Benz 220 W115
- In about 1968 The 220 Mercedes-Benz moved on to the W115 chassis, these used a 695H13 for the first cars which later changed to 175 HR 14 Michelin XAS. This is still the best tyre for these cars.
- For these tyres the Michelin 14E is the correct innertube.
- Because a good 175R14 was historically not available for a long time many of these cars fitted a 185 HR 14 Michelin MXV-P which is an excellent Mercedes tyre with a raised curbing band on one side.
- For these tyres we suggest the Michelin 14F innertube.
Mercedes-Benz 220 Whitewall Tyres
- Michelin make excellent whitewall tyres that maintain the handling of a classic Mercedes-Benz, while adding that whitewall embellishment that some people like.
- There are also budget white wall tyres available, but we suggest you will benefit from a quality period carcass design of the Michelin.
- The Mercedes-Benz 220 Ponton could fit the 6.40 x 13 Michelin ZX Whitewall tyres.
- The W111 Mercedes-Benz 220 also has 13” wheels but needs the bigger 7.25 R13 Michelin X Whitewall tyres.
- After a while the W115 220 Mercedes-Benz moved to 14” wheels with 175R14 tyres however the 185 R 14 Michelin MXV Whitewall tyre is great on these later 220 Mercedes-Benz.
