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. |
