Here are my current favorites which I have on a 300SL. I didn't know about these when I still had my SVX: (NB: the link is to a canadiandriver.com site, but this still works linking presumably to what must have purchased or replaced the original)

On my SVX, I had an excellent experience with the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S. They handled beautufully and still looked great when I sold the car with about 45-50K kms on the tires. I suppose if I still had the SVX, I'd stay with the Michelins, but these Ventus V4s look and feel great. Besides handling, wearing, and looking great, both tires are quieter than many others. BTW, my SVX was an AWD. Good luck and enjoy your SVX!
