I need tires for a stock set of 4-bolt 15" Fuch wheels. Picked up my 914 yesterday and the current tires are old and mis-matched. I'm an aggressive driver, would like to do some auto-x'ing, would like for the tires to last 6 - 10k miles, prefer tires that have a stiff sidewall. My last set of Kumhos had good traction, but I lost 1/2 my steering feedback due to tirewall flex. Yuck! This car has fat torsion bars and a big swaybar in the front... I just need some good rubber!
205/55/15s are what I'm accustomed to running. So what's the hot setup for > $100/tire? Thanks and sorry for adding another tire thread to the other hundreds of tire threads here on the club's forum.

I agree that the Falken RT-615's can be unpredictable with cornering in the rain/wet (that is condition in which I wrecked my car).
For dry conditions they are super grippy. |
