It's time for me to replace the old, cracking Pirellis on my 914. My car has 5.5-inch, four-bolt Fuchs. The current tires are 165/80-15s. I've been told that the Sumitomo HTR A/S P01s are pretty decent. They're offered in 195/60-15, 185/65-15, or 195/65-15 sizes. I think any of them will fit under my narrow-body.
Anyone have any recommendations for tires: brand, model or size? I won't be autocrossing the thing and neither will I drive the car in heavy rain or snow. So a high-performance all-season or even summer tire would work fine. |

914's are kewl Group: Members Posts: 1,776 Joined: 6-June 03 From: San Ramon, CA Member No.: 791 Region Association: Northern California |
I have 205/60/15's on all four corners without flares running on 2.0L Fuch's rims. Rears are fine. If I do a full lock left or right turn, the fronts appear to rub some (as is evident by rub marks in the inner wheel well.)
I like how the 205/60/15's fill-out the space. |
