All,
I am looking to replace my tires. I have fuchs rims and I want to get the same size as what I have now (195/60-15). I am looking for a decent, low cost tire for my 914. I have been to tire rack and seem some good prices. I am looking for recommendations from you all. My car is a daily driver, no AX or track time (yet). I want something that will perform well, last fairly well and be somewhat quiet. I am in Los Angeles, so a;;-season is not too much of a concern. Thanks for the help! - Joe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) 73 1.7 |

Kumho Ecsta Tires are good choices. Usually 70-80 bucks for a tire that will last you 30-40 thousand miles and are Z rated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
