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 ? |

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. |

I called simpletire out of curiosity since my new tires haven't been mounted yet. They called the warehouse to verify that they have 46 tires, some with date codes back to 2016. I couldn't find these tires anywhere else in the US or much information about them. Could be an interesting choice being that they are summer tires, but hard to say. Dunlop makes some great tires and some that are not. Probably a risk worth taking at that price. |
