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. |

On the teener Dunlop DZ02G in 195/55/15 on 15x7 rims, but I have had a DZ03G 205/50/15 fitted up and will be confirming that I can get it under the rear later this morning.
On the Honda Euro, some 17" Bridgestone things which are pretty good. This car is so good that after driving it for 2 and a bit years i've got bored with it. The options presently are: Ford Focus XR5 (2.5 turbo 6 speed), Volvo C30 (same 2.5 turbo 6 speed, funky shape and less doors) or Golf GTI (2.0 turbo and 6 speed DSG). Then again I might just wash the Honda. |
