I need to replace my 15-20 year old 914 tires & looking for suggestions. My 1974 914 tires has only about 1K+ - miles on them and in perfect condition, but needs replacement for safety. My tires are currently all-season 205x60xR15 with no fender clearance issues front or rear. I don't do track events, just local summer cruising to cars/coffee & PCA activities with our 914 locals. Need suggestions for summer only tires since it's a garage queen. I like the following size based on manufacture availability for 914's. 205x55x15 looks good? 205x60x15 does not look available? 195x60x15 looks good on 914 factory recommendations. I know it's a difficult choice on this forum & looking for expert 914 suggestions. Tom in Michigan ready to purchase. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() Attached image(s) ![]() |

I like the 195s best; same use pattern as you.
Continentals readily available at reasonable price. Get one with a bit of rounded tread edge though, otherwise some inside wheel well rubbing on sharp turning. Had two sets of Michelins but both experienced sidewall cracking after only 2-3 years. Keep them cleaned and treated; remove small stones from the treads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
