Title: 230SL on eBay
Post by: Charles 230SL on March 31, 2017, 17:27:56

Can anyone identify the manufacturer of the tires on this 230SL?  I like the way they look and I'd hate to call the seller just to ask about the tires.
The car appears sound,, but I do wonder what happened to the vertical tire well (chassis #003131)

These look like the Coker white walls that I have on my 230 SL.  Assume this car has the horizontal spare tire mount.

The narrow white wall appears to match the 3/4 in Coker stripe but to me the tread pattern in the underbody photo does not appear to match the Coker Phoenix pattern.  I was unable to zoom in enough to read the sidewall lettering.

After studying further, I think Rich is correct. I think they are Coker.

They can be painted/blasted, or rims can be added:
