I am getting ready to purchase a set of tires soon for my 914. Purchased it about a year ago and am just about done with the restoration. I have the four bolt Mahle rims and hard as rock old tires.

Looking around, I have found many tire sizes folks are using.

185/70-15
195/50-15
195/55-15
195/60-15
195/65-15
205/55-15
205/60-15


Looking for comments on what folks think it best. Normal driving is what I'll be doing.
