I'm new to 914s, have 911s, but wanted to get in on the 914 fun. I'm struggling with tire choice and size for my standard body 6 conversion. I plan spirited canyon carving and some track/autocross. I am interested in as grippy a tire as I can get, as I usually drive R tires on my 911s. That said, for my 6x15" wheels, I am only finding 195/55/15 size, and I worry that might look too small. Visual aesthetics are certainly to be considered in my choice, but I don't know about going with 205/60 or taller in an all weather tire and sacrificing grip.
SO, what are others using to carve up the canyons and push the car? My searches are not clearly definitive. Photos showing the "look" of various sizes would be helpful, particularly 195/55/15 size, as well as specific tire model and size suggestions. |
