Help / Advice needed - Rims Tires
« on: October 19, 2012, 08:20:39 »
As some of you may have noticed we will be shipping our 280SL to Switzerland next year via Rotterdam and the Pagoda Meet in Germany.
 We also have two sets of 4 alloy rims made in Germany, no brand and only markings are cast lettering/numbers KBA40107, tyres fitted are Bolex, Chinese, 205/70R1495HM&S
Questions 1 Does anyone know of If these rims and tyres will fit on a late series, 1970 280SL?
Question 2 Are M&S, mud and snow, tyres approved in Europe / Switzerland as winter tyres?
Thanks in anticipation

Geoff, can't help you with the first question. On the second issue, for M+S tires (or any winter tires) to be sufficient, they must have the following symbol on them:

1970 280SL. System Admin of the site. Please do not mail or PM me questions on Pagoda's... I'm not likely to know the answer.  Please post on the forum instead!

Thanks Peter,
No snow crystle sign on these tyres, will use them in summer, fit snow tyres when over there.
