Hey guys, I know there's lot's of tire posts on here already and I've not really read through them much.
If there is already a thread covering this please drop a link and it would be appreciated! Anyways it's new tire time for the 914 but I'm not sure what size or brand of tires would be the best bang for the buck while still giving good grip and decent life. Car is a stock d-jet 2.0L 1974 with rivieras. Only street driving, no auto-x or drag racing etc etc. Cheers and happy New Years all!

The best tires are the ones you buy at America’s Tire. Free rotation, Balance and Road hazard. Plus you are out of there in a hour. Or you can go to Tire Rack. Get them shipped to your house take them to a installer and after all this it cost you a week of your life and you have the same tire. All because someone wanted to save 20 bucks.... |
