I purchased my car with 205/45/16 toyo's and it just didn't feel or look right. I am 100% satisfied with this tire. They hook on the ramps, rides great on the straights and fills out the wheel wells just right. Not bad for $110 each at the door.

If your not into changing tires, It may be a fair AutoX tire. For the street, I love em. I got them off ebay, Discout tie.

Yeah, I would love to run R compounds, but I'm just not there yet. Not changing tires is one issue, as I don't have a trailer or any room for spare rims in the 914. Another is pure price of the tires. R compounds are expensive and go off quickly.

These tires hook...cold too....I'm pushing them hard on the street and get a little slide, no tire squeal. Two thumbs up
