White Walls
« on: August 04, 2019, 00:21:59 »
Hey there, I recently received the data card for my car from Stuttgart. It indicates that my car originally came with white wall tires. it's a 1964 230 SL. Does anybody know the width of the white stripes on these white walls? In other words where they thin stripes or thick stripes?

Have a read through here, there are varying sizes and positions on the tire.

Thanks Garry for the information. Mine was ordered in 1963 and it built in 1964, so I will look for some photographs from that era and do a little more digging, but this is very helpful!
