Narrow or stock body fenders Car , 4 bolt real fuchs or 2liter wheels
Has 195/60r 15 on it now Netto touring front (still tread enough but are like 8 years old ) Continental touring rear ( tread is pretty low also old but in good shape) I beginning to realize a tire failure on these cars could be especially dangerous Cause lets face it a 914 gets driven harder then A toyota I dont want to roll the fender lips and the clearance with current tire size is already tight Budget pretty wide open since i want something reliable or high quality ? |

So after taking a deeper dive and reaching out to some of the manufacturers via social media here is what I have found.
It seems all of the summer tires in a 195/65-15 are out of production, certainly all of the ones below are. I did not reach out to Dunlop, but the aggressive looking SP SPORT 600 shown here: https://simpletire.com/dunlop-p195-65r15-dp...DSABEgKvGfD_BwE Looks like and all-season tread when I search for actual images in the wild: https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MjQ5WDQwMA==/z/W...8/$_20.JPG Next up is the Toyo Proxes 1. Other than confirming it is discontinued, and offering me tires I already explained I didn’t want and why, they pretty much bailed on me. Amazon has a few of them left: https://www.amazon.com/Toyo-Proxes-Performa...e/dp/B076Y63NF2 I could not find actual pictures of this size in the wild, but suspect it looks like the Toyo Proxes C1S: https://static.baza.farpost.ru/v/1487426191481_bulletin The most helpful so far has been Accelera tires. They have confirmed that this tire has been out of production for 5 years. https://americaswheel.com/195-65-15-acceler...mber=1200000046 I have asked them to confirm the UTQG. And a search for it in the wild confirms the aggressive tread pattern. http://warriorbali.com/wp-content/uploads/...651-300x169.jpg Can’t get hurt at this price either so I may give it a go. Finally we have the Goodyear Excellence: https://www.amazon.com/Goodyear-Excellence-...e/dp/B00F6I3QXE https://www.samsclub.com/sams/goodyear-exce.../prod2390184.ip Doesn’t do it for me and they are very expensive. |
