Now that Snowpocalipse has descended upon half the nation, us Daily Drivers might want the collective wisdom of this group...
What is a good AllSeason Radial that fits under a narrow-bodied-no-flares 914? Can't do chains, and won't do studs. Just want some deep tread tires for the occasional 3-5 inches that happens in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada foothills. Or the gully-washer downpours that leave massive water on the roads, you gotta have some deep treads to prevent hydra-planing. Thoughts? (Not everybody parks for five months...this car was one of the best snow cars 40 years ago, just saying...) |

I got some Fuchs 2.0 rims for summer, so my Empi rims can be dedicated to Winter. So some of you are saying snow tires with the chunkier tread are a good choice, instead of AllSeason. Good deal.
I can do dedicated snows on rims, and even swap them out multiple times between Nov-March. What size Blizzaks did you run? Or are there other tire combos and sizes people did that worked well? (No salt here in the West, so I don't think I'm damaging the 914 too much. Just want my Smiles to go year round on this car!) |
