(11-02-2018, 02:54 PM)winmutt My W123 was pretty stiff without being terrible. Miss it.
Interesting. My wagon seems to roll a bit more than I would like. The front bar is already huge. Everybody seems to think a larger bar works wonders on the w124 series cars; unfortunately the 500e bars are nla so the next stop seems to be the e55 bar.
Anyway I recently aired up my stock 195 series tires and it stopped howling on the sweepers on sunset. It actually impressed me yesterday. No drama. It rolls, but then sets up and goes around the corners without any alarming tendencies.
I may go with a set of the ebay 15" bundt wheels to reduce sidewall flex a bit. Either that or the BBS 3 piece, but I always thought that looked sort of like lipstick on a frog
I think my tires are shot anyway, so it may be time to splurge. I think there is even a set of Fuchs 15" on ebay right now.
