So i am looking to get Goodyear Eagle GT V rated 195.65.15 for my 1975 1.8 with stock Fuchs rims. Is this a bad choice for a daily driver?
Also, I am buying 5 tires for the spare. Should I buy six to have an extra pair? I have a boxster and rears wear two to one vs fronts. Thoughts... Regards James Updated to reflect correct tire size |

You mean 195-65-15 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) they don't make a 195-75-15.
My car came with Pirelli P6000 tires. The ride was a bit stiff, but cornered like on rails. I didn't think much of the tire until some jerk offs slashed them. Choices are limited in the 195-65-15, so I went for the Bridgestone RE960AS since it was the highest rated tire at the time on tirerack. The ratings on the P6000 were not so good, BUT if you look only at Porsche owners they liked them. Got those Bridgestones mounted and hated them from turn one. They were like marshmallows in comparison. Sold them after 500 miles on CL. The Eagle GT was next on my list, but I didn't go for them because of the weight 24lb vs 19lb. For a daily driver they may still be a good choice though. Instead I went for the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1 195-55-15. TR only had a few left and now they are no longer available. The negatives are the car sits lower, more scraping, 200-300 more rpm hwy cruising, more shifting and speedo is off and still not as sharp turning as the P6000s. The positives are lots of grip, faster off the line, sits lower, better looks and better ride then the P6000s. Hope that helps out a little. |
