I just bought an 86 560SEC. The tires are 225/60-15, which are obviously
wider than original because the spare cover in the trunk will not close.
Also, I do not like the appearance or handling.
I did not get a manual with the car. Can anyone tell me the proper tire
Size? And incidentally, where to acquire a manual?

Correct tire size for your car should be 205 65R 15

Right... however, you can go 215-60R15 which is totally acceptable. I'd
prefer this size to the original size.

For your information. when I had my 380SE. I had 225-60R15 for 11 years
before I upgraded to 16" wheels and when I sold it, it also had 225-60R15.
