I just got a great deal on Kumho Ecsta AST 195/50×R15 tires that I couldn't pass up. Has anyone else used these on their 914? I know the speedo will be way off and the car now is maybe way too low but will they work okay? Need feedback from anyone else that used or uses the same size.
Thanks!!!! |

To me they just look odd, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I like a tire that fills up the wheelwell.
195/65-15 looks proper, on my car I'm going to run 205/60-15 I'm hoping I don't have to roll the fenders. |
