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. |

Now the french guy comes with another answer.
I always buy 185/65/15 ... The size is not right but it has many + Better grip (coming from 165) Very comfortable on rough roads and speed bumps Better acceleration (because 5% smaler in diameter) Won't rub in the weel arch even with beetle offset rims. Cheaper than other sizes because more common. Look good and not like baloons Only issue, the speedo is 5% more off (I always have my GPS anyway) http://914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=267749 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i46.servimg.com-5409-1349780797.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i46.servimg.com-5409-1349781033.1.jpg) |
