Yeah, yeah, yeah....lots of strings about tires...However, anyone run any of these tires?
Have a 1971 914-4 with 2.0 l. Pedrini wheels. Parameters for driving: Spirited driving, no track stuff. Crappy roads at times but also good roads here and there. No snow, likely very little rain, california coastal weather with hot inland driving. Dry pavement 99 % of the time. Like to drive the car hard when given the opportunity. Bought the car recently with tiny, very old yokohamas 100es tread. 195/50/15". Other than the tire size, they look right on the car. Clean, simple sidewall without a bunch of patterns/ graphics. Not too modern, a little more old school. No longer made. I'm pretty set on the tire sizes 195/60 or 195/65. Do not want to risk fitment issues with 205s. Rear fenders not rolled. Saving the big tire budget for the 914-6 that needs new tread. Looking at a couple choices as these come in 60s and 65s: -YOKOHAMA YK-GTX 195 /60 R15 88H SL BSW or YOKOHAMA AVID GT S35 195 /60 R15 88H SL BSW -VREDESTEIN HITRAC ALL SEASON 195/60/15", I had these on a bone stock 914 1.7 briefly and didn't really get to drive them or push at all. -See some folks running these but I don't see great reviews online. KUMHO SOLUS TA51A 195 /60 R15 and other Kumhos. -Lots of allweather tires look like they would look right on a mini van so I'm trying to stay away from that look. Reference: 195/65 25.4" Essentially stock diameter. 195/60 24.2 195/70 25.7 Strong opinions welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
