My 1975 2.2 has almost new BF Goodrich P-Sport 195-55-R15 tires. They're my third set (second on this 914 and also had P-Sports on my GLI VR6). Great tires, but they don't make them anymore.
On my GLI VR6 I have Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires which are AMAAAAAAAAAAzing. I friggin' LOVE these tires. But sadly, they don't make them for a 15" wheel. My LE has Ohtsu Zexius 205-60-R15. They're newish but these tires are pretty terrible. They hold no traction in wet condition. So I'm looking for new tires. Also trying to decide whether to keep 205-60 or go 205-65. I like the 55 on my other 914, but probably dangerously too low. Suggestions? I am mostly concerned for performance. I'd rather buy good tires that I have to replace more often than get tires that aren't as good performers that will last me a few years. Hydroplaning and wet traction are priority. I could care less about comfort and road noise (we drive 914s, after all). What tires do you guys really like - or would like on your cars? |
