This has been discussed but I can't seem to put my finger on the answer.
I love Les Schwab but they don't seem to speak my language on this one. Looking for a street/performance tire. I proposed 245/45's and 225/50's or something similar to the counter help at Les. They only option they gave me was a mismatching set?!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) What tires are you using for 16,8,9? Going under flares of course. TIA |

Just bought a set of the Yokohama Advan A-052'S for my spare set of black wheels. Haven't tried them out yet so no feedback just yet. There are also a couple of Pirelli offerings in the right sizes but I have had good Yokohama experience so I went with those.
The other stack are their A008-P's but they don't have 225's for your 8's with those, mine are 7/9's.  |

If they add the 195/65R15 and 215/60R15 sizing (OE for 944s and some 911s), I know what will be replacing my Avons... 195/65R15 A-008P would be a near-perfect street tire for performance narrow-body 914s. |
