I have used the Goodyear 23x9-15 cantilever tires in R210 compound on my 914 with both 4cyl and V6 power. I found them good on asphalt and real good on concrete. They like heat though. Not so good in temps lower than 60°F.
Now that I did the V8 swap I decided to go larger and have switched to Hoosier R35 compound slicks. These are 23.5x12.0-15 on 14" wide wheels in the rear and 22.5x9.0-15 on 10" wheels in front. These are the Formula Atlantic sizes and should work well for the lower speeds and shorter courses of autocross. My first event on these tires is this Sunday. I'll report what I find if anyone's interested. Mike T |
