Hi Everyone! I'm going back to my roots here, as my fist car was a 1975 914 with a 1.8 back when I was 18. I understand my father's intentions now (He's been a member of PCA for longer than I've been alive), but unfortunately it was lost on me back then when I was more concerned with power steering, windows, door locks, and ac. Anyway, I have a 1970 914-6 with GT fenders and Fuch 15x8 alloys. It currently has a set of 225/50/15 Yokohama Advan a048 tires, and after almost perishing multiple times in the rain yesterday I've decided that some wet traction is desirable. Consulting tire rack shows me 7 tires in this size, including the Yokohama avs es100, which was the predecessor to the Sdrive. THese would be cool, but after phoning some tire shops, it's come to my attention that any tire in this size is a special order.
So what are you guys running out there? I ran the Yokohama Advan Neova, Advan Sports, and Bridgestone RE760 Sport on my STi before it gave it's life for me, if that helps. |
