When it’s time to shop 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 tires, remember that this make/model is designed for a staggered fitment, with different tire sizes in front and rear. Check out summer/ultra-high-performance tires like the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+, Continental ContiSportContact 5P or Vredestein Ultrac Vorti. Just remember that summer/UHP tires use a softer, stickier tread formulation that will stiffen up and lose traction on colder days. Summer/UHP tires shouldn’t be used if temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
