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. |

I have Bridgestone Potanza 205 60 15's on 4 bolt Fuchs, nice tire, no clearance issues and do the same kind of driving you say you do.

Also have Bridgstone Potenza's and am very happy
195,60,15 on mahle wheels They do rub a little on the inner front wheel wells at full lock, it's not an issue though. I also was considering the 65 profile as the speedo is out by about 4 miles/hour I think. Probably would go the 65's if I bought them again. I'm getting old and also like a bit of comfort in the ride. I have Bridgestone Potanza 205 60 15's on 4 bolt Fuchs, nice tire, no clearance issues and do the same kind of driving you say you do.
