    W126 300SE Tyre Size?

    Had the car for a year now and the Nokia (!) tyres that came with it are nearing the end of their life. The car is fitted with 205/65 R15 94H front and rear but when I punch the car's details into various tyre sellers' websites, I often seem to get 195 back as the recommended tread width. Can...

    I've joined the club ...

    Picked up my 300SE on Friday. A former Honda S2000 owner, I went to an Alfa 156 when I unfortunately had to sell the S. They say you have to own an Alfa at some point in your life and as I could only afford a beater, the 52 plate 156 ticked the boxes. All was going fine until a Golf GTI decided...
