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!

So it seems like ***/65/15 is a fairly common size people are running, which is shorter than the original 80. How much of a difference does that make and in what ways? I would think lower speeds through the gears but maybe a bit more "uumph" when you hit the throttle?
QUOTE(thelogo @ Jan 2 2018, 09:27 PM)  Your running Rivera s Sound like its time for new wheels and tires My car was sold to me with riveras , an im not a big fan Tires i have are touring and 195,65,15 and are pretty Rock solid. Look for some 4 bolt fuchs, makes a big difference When combined with a good tire I'd really love a set of 4 bolt Mahles. Unfortunately, unless someone wants to give me a great deal on a set I can't really afford Fuchs or Mahles right now. There's some Pedrini's over on the samba right now though maybe I'll look into those. |
