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 ? |

QUOTE(thelogo @ Oct 31 2017, 02:09 PM)  Dunlop SP Sport 600 P195/65R-15 That looks like a pretty spiffy tire, if you get a set let us know how you like them! I'm gonna need new rubber in 15k or so. |

Not sure about the legitimacy of that listing, as those tires only come in one size (245/40 R18) and they are $345/tire per the Dunlop website. http://www.dunloptires.com/en-US/tires/sp-sport-600-tires |

Wouldn’t surprise me if Dunlop’s webpage doesn’t get updated regularly. And MSRP for tires is one of the biggest jokes out there. Street prices of most tires are a small fraction of the official MSRP. Actually, if it really is available, I like it. Nice to see a modern summer tire in this size. |
