914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Vredestein Sprint Classic 185/70HR15

Posted by: raynekat Mar 9 2020, 10:35 PM

Vredestein Sprint Classic 185/70HR15 showed up today.
Went and had it mounted up for a spare.

Pretty decent looking in person and has a period correct thread design.
Looks good on a 6" wide rim with the right amount of "bulge."
I would think it would fit on a 5.5" rim as well.

I like the larger size of the 185 over the 165 tires.

$143.60 per tire with free shipping from Tire Rack.

That what I use. I think they look great on a 914.

How many remember when 70 series was high performance, and 60 series was exotic?

Going to get the "new" CN36's on my '72 911 targa. Even have the N Porsche rating! Still have the original CN36 mounted on the spare Fuchs but I'd never use it!

Probably going to get them for my '71 914 as well since the tires on it have a date code from the early 2000's!! (I don't drive it enough!)

That is a great looking tire, and it looks like it gonna really grip the road...
Are those available for 16" wheels too ?
