Let’s talk about summer performance tires. And more likely - alternatives...
I'm in the market as my tires have aged out. (Sailun Atrezzo's - never seen 'em before - came with the car from the PO.) The low temperature thresholds of summer tires seemingly rule out summer performance models for me since my 914 does not USUALLY see the street during cold weather but it's not unheard of to go for a mid-winter ride in below-freezing temps if the sun is out and the roads are clean and dry. It does get stored in a garage that may go down to the mid-to-upper 30s. So what are some higher-performance suggestions for tires that can run year-round in 195/55/15s? It's what I currently have, the look that I like and what my speedo is calibrated to. Thanks! Brian |

Hi Brian - I check for tires by going to Tire Rack's web site. I run 195x65x15 on my car. Cheers, Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
