Hey guys, I know there's lot's of tire posts on here already and I've not really read through them much.
If there is already a thread covering this please drop a link and it would be appreciated! Anyways it's new tire time for the 914 but I'm not sure what size or brand of tires would be the best bang for the buck while still giving good grip and decent life. Car is a stock d-jet 2.0L 1974 with rivieras. Only street driving, no auto-x or drag racing etc etc. Cheers and happy New Years all!

There are a lot of possible tires available but IMO the Vredestein Sprint Classics are pretty darn good.....they have the vintage appearance, good grip, correct sizes and very reasonably priced. They offer the original tire size for your 2.0L in 165HR15 as well as the optional 185/70HR15 size. You can get them through tire rack...$118.00/tire for the 165 or $165.00/tire for the 185 size. There are better tires....Michelin XWX, Pirelli Cinturato CN36, etc. but those tires are expensive....starting at $250.00/tire.
