Mercedes-Benz Fintail Tyres

Mercedes-Benz Fintail Classic Tyres

It is worth noting that all the Mercedes Benz Fintail cars between 1959 and 1965 will handle at their best when fitted with these Michelin period radial tyres, because the superior carcass structure is very well suited to the chassis design of Mercedes in this period.

The other good news for Fintail Mercedes owners is that Michelin also makes a 7.25 R13 Michelin X Whitewall and a 185 R 14 Michelin MXV Whitewall. That way, Fintail can maintain the handling benefits of Michelin while offering a white wall to those who want it.
