[R129 SL] Tires and alignment for SL

[Paul Samarin]

Time for new shoes for the '90 500 SL; recommended size (and  
currently on the car) is 225x55x16 all around.

What is the most current list wisdom as to:

1) tire size (I'm not considering new wheels or a staggered set-up at  
this time);  would slightly wider tires give any benefit?
2) tire rating; my aggressive driving days are behind me, so Z is  
definitely ridiculous, but what's a good daily driver that can handle  
"a little more"?
3) brand and model;
4) where to buy;  I'll check tirerack.com and costco, of course;  any  
other suggestions?

Camber is wrong on rear:  outside wearing excessively.  So, I also  
need a good alignment/suspension shop in So.Cal.  (S/E LA County,  
Orange County).

Thanks for any and all advice!
