Someone posted this 1971 spec page.
I noticed the four had tubeless tires but the six had tubed tires. Can someone please share why they were different.. Attached image(s)

IIRC the 5-lug steel wheel was a carry over from the 911/912 in the non-tubeless type steel wheels - so a tube was required; but I also think that the -6's optional Mahle & Fuchs 5-lug alloys were tube type wheel.
So they actually came in both tube & tubeless flavors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
