Am looking at changing out the crap tires on my 4 lug Fuchs for some with grip. I want to go with 205 60 15s. I have SO3s on my other car, and like them for wet and dry, but they really give no clue before they break away. With a 914, I don't want to risk becoming a top with SO3s. What would you guys recommend for a grippy wet/dry tire that gives some notice before losing grip?
Edit: These tires are for fast back road use, no track duty. Wear rating doesn't matter. |

the Zexius that les schawb(sp) sells work very well for an all around in western wa. not a *grippy* ax tire but predictable, non-directional, relatively quiet. the 195/60 are a nice fit on the 15x5.5 wheels and the right backspacing. my potenzas were the worst in the wet. 0 warning
