So....
Tires on the old/early 930 are tired/ancient/hard blocks of rubber Car is NOT shown at concours, and although driven a bit aggressively, likely will not see track (hasn't yet, and no time to pursue those pleasures) Car lives on Wet Coast...BUT...only sees rain when a cloudburst appears... So...dry driving is predominant use. 17 9 x 10 inch RUFs Thanks for input,have been out of market for a very long time. Paul |

You could maybe try a "tail dragger" site?

One would think the same advice applies, tires don't care where the motor is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Use the shopping guide but type in the tire sizes you have, it will find matching sets. Then read the reviews. The tires one of us might like might not come in both the sizes you need so it's kinda pointless. |

Look for some Nitto's. Get on their website, find your tire, then get your local tire shop to get them.

I'd opt for Yokohama Advans, something with a 200ish wear if not a lot of daily driving.

Spooling.... Please wait Group: Members Posts: 13,376 Joined: 20-January 03 From: Riverbank, Ca Member No.: 172 Region Association: Northern California

I hear really good things about Michellin pilot super sports.
I run Federal 595RS-RR which are a sticky "street tire" 200tw autox compound that runs really cheap. And runs typically very wide. |

You can run them in a "Spirited " fashion and then some! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Very sticky (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Didn't kill me last time I got caught in the rain either. I can test them out for you if you put them on your Turbo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) SMA |
