Just thinking about tires for my 914 and thought I'd see what the "914 faithful" are runnung.
I considered doing a poll, but there are just too many options and combinations... So what size/manufacturer/model boots do you have on your 914 and why. What application do you have? Street, CW, auto X, race....wheel size, stock fenders, GT flares , Sheridan wide body... I'll start... Current: 914-4 1.8 factory narrow body 205/50R15 "Champiro GT" on 15 x 7 aftermarket rims... good for rolling around the garage until resto is done. Planning 914-6 3.2 steel GT flares 225/45R16 Yokohama Advan A048 on 16 x 8 Fuchs for limited street use with lapping day duties. 16 inch to clear brake upgrades, 45 series to keep overall diameter under 24", Yokohama as this is the only decent performance tire available in this size. |

You could save yourself a bundle of money if you went for Hankooks. They great tire for the dough. I run them on my MX5.
Hard to pass up $87 price tage for your size compared to what? $200 + for Yoko's? Here is your size on Edge racings site: http://www.edgeracing.com/tires/2254516/ |
