Hi Guys,
I just got my wheel's back from Fuchs Restorations and I want to get everyone's opinions about which tire looks the best on the wheel. I have Pirelli P4 195/65 - 15's on the '74 and they look ok but what do you guys think look the best? Continentals? Perielli? Michelin? Dunlop? Something else? I want to stay with a modern tire and I'm flexible on the size so long as they fit within the stock fenders. I know the question about tires has been asked many times before but, I'm looking at it from a performance AND looks standpoint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike |

I went with classic tire Vredestein 195/65 to replicate the original tire here in US which was a Dunlop which had a tread pattern close to the Vredestein remake.
Are they the absolute best tires for performance ? No. My Pirelliis were great and were 205 and fit just fine, road well , handled well and cornered well. Michelins are the absolutely best tire for performance made for 914. However, the tires posted here do not at all look period certain so just for me and my taste, they look like absolutely crap. I love the looks of the Vredestein. I drive my Porsche 914 to show it off and not for performance so I love the look and don't regret it whatsoever. BUT I don't take corners at 60 mph either. |
