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...) |

When I was in Portland I ran a set of Goodyear Triple treads on my VW. They were great in the rain, and pretty good in the snow. If I hadn’t have gone with 205s on the rear they might even have been very good in snow. But with Empi rims 205s won’t be a problem. For snow stay with a narrower tire, and while I haven’t had to drive my 914 in snow, in my opinion the left mounted hand brake keeps the car out of the great in snow category…
