I am getting ready to purchase a set of tires soon for my 914. Purchased it about a year ago and am just about done with the restoration. I have the four bolt Mahle rims and hard as rock old tires.
Looking around, I have found many tire sizes folks are using. 185/70-15 195/50-15 195/55-15 195/60-15 195/65-15 205/55-15 205/60-15 Looking for comments on what folks think it best. Normal driving is what I'll be doing. |

I went with Yoko S.drive 195/55 R15 85V's (same Mahle wheels as yours). And here's
my 2cents--- UPS: -big difference in performance over standard size -fits with no scrub or rub anywhere on my (otherwise stock) car -on nice piece of road, world of improvement--much fun! DOWNS: -low profile/very little side wall, coupled with solid urethane bushings all around, means rough roads are jarring -speed bumps and drive ways, front sometimes scrapes if I'm not careful. (Gonna adjust front ride height by torsion bar a bit to fix hopefully.) Good luck, p2 |
