Need to replace my 17-year-old rubber after reawakening my 914-6. Any ideas for 14" tires with the approximately 25" height of the original 185X14 size. Ideally would like at least an S speed rating. Stock fender lips.
Looks like BFG TAs in 205X70X14 are closest to what I want and I've run Comp TAs in that size long ago. But I'm certain some of you have been down this road more recently and may have better ideas. Not interested in changing wheels.
Thanks...
Jim

I went to a local air cooled porsche shop. He is also a tire supplier for scca racing series and others - Bob Woodman tires. I ended up with khomo tires my size is slightly smaller than yours. I have 195 65 14. My fenders were rolled and I could fit 205's easily but didn't know that at the time. My speedo was calibrated for a lower profile tire back when I had empi 15's so this site is perfect and my speedo is right on I think the diameter is close to 24&1/4". When I get my rims for AX and D.E. days I'm going with 16's and will have him fit a really nice track tire. I liked.the perelli's I had on my boxster but the Toyo's on my Audi TT I like as well.
Depends on what type of tire you want. You can check with Bob's manager Evan. Look up www.bobwoodmantires.com .
