Mercedes-Benz 170V on 5.50 R 16 Michelin X Tyres
Mercedes 170 T1949–1955
- The Mercedes 170 has had a few different iterations during its time in production, and subsequently fitted a range of tyres.
- The first Mercedes 170 released in 1932 fitted 475 - 18 Tyres, Longstone's recommendation for this size is the 4.75/5.25 x 18 Michelin D.R.
- In 1935, Mercedes released a model on 525 - 17 Tyres. In this size we can recommend the 5.25/5.50 x 17 Lucas.
- The Mercedes 170V on the W136 chassis (1935–1955) fitted 5.50-16 tyres. The best tyre in this size is the 5.50 R 16 Michelin X.
- The Michelin tyre will offer progressive handling and behave more like a radial than a crossply, which is desirable on modern roads.
- The ideal inner tube for these tyres is the Michelin 16F inner tube.
- In 1937, Mercedes released the 170H on 500 - 17 Tyres, of which we can recommend the 4.75/5.00x17 Excelsior.
- The recommended innertube for the above tyres is the Michelin 17/18E innertube.
- 1938 to 1939 saw the release of a 170H on 525 - 16 Tyres. The 500/525-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA is a great option in this size.
- Some later models sported 550 - 16 Tyres, the 5.50-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA is a good option.
- The ideal innertube for this tyre is the Michelin 16E innertube.
- The 1952 170S fitted 640 - 15 Tyres, of which we can recommend the 640 H 15 Avon Super Safety.
- For these tyres, we recommend the Michelin 15F Offset Valve innertube.
