Hey!
My 914 has old Pirelli P7's on it. Its time to replace them. Can anyone suggest what a similar replacement might be? I kinda like the look of the P7's, Im not sure why but it give the car the "factory" look for Porsche. A few options would help. Cheers |

Wow, those tires must be pretty old. P7's have been out of production for a long time, I'd guess well over ten years now. Check the date codes on your tires, it would be interesting to see when they were made! Not super safe to be riding on tires so old, so it's good you are changing them.
I don't really use Pirellis much anymore, but as a kid of the 80's, I agree, Pirelli P7 and Porsche will always go together in my mind. Pirelli used to make a successor to the P7, that was called a P700 or something like that, but even that is gone now. I think the closest Pirelli "successor" to the P7 would now be the PZero. It's a good looking tire, the tread is a tiny bit remniscent of the P7. |
