I've got some 165 Pirellis on my 74 2.0L. I haven't had much chance to push it too hard yet, but I have had the back end slide out a bit on a corner. I'm planning on moving to 195 or 205s this spring. I see no point in putting skinny tires on a 914. Handling is what they do, and a wider, stickier tire will help with that. The more grip the better!
