I took my 70 914/6 (2.2 E) with 15 x 6 Fuchs wheels to the Porsche Club event this weekend to Laguna Seca. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) Currently I have a set of Dunlop Sports 5000 205/60X15 on my car - it got extremely squirly - I even did 2 x 360s in 2 different sessions coming out of turn 9 - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) The instructor (in the car with me) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chatsmiley.gif) suggested I get some stickier tires and I'll be fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) - I would like to find a set of sticky tires that I can drive to and from the track (100 miles round trip) - I do not want to get back to towing or being dependend on a support vehicle. Any suggestions?

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Jun 28 2004, 08:35 PM) They "say" 200 on the side but I promise they are under 100. I drove them back to back with some AutoX Kuhmo's and they didnt feel any different. B I'm with Brad, that 200 is BS. They seem sticky enough for a 2060lb car. They go right were I point them. |
