Alas, it is 3 years later and I'm finally at the point where I am near driving the car and can justify actually buying tires. The 14-inch Pirellis don't appear to be an option anymore.
Has anyone installed the Vredstein Sprint Classic 185HR14? If so, I'd be interested to see photos and hear experience with those. I went down the rabbit hole of comparing the Vredstein Sprint Classic 185HR14 to the 185/70VR14. According to tire rack the 185HR14 sidewall aspect ratio is 80. This is what the sticker on the car lists for optional wheels / tires. It's also $37 per tire cheaper. So I'm wondering if there's any compelling reason to consider the 70. Feature Contrast | 185HR14 | 185/70VR14 Speed rating (mph) | H = 130 | V = 149 Sidewall Aspect Ratio | 80 | 70 Diameter (inches) | 25.6 | 24.2 Price (each) | $181 | $218 The 1.4" diameter makes a bigger difference in appearance than I would expect if you trust the tire size visualizer.  Our suspension is stock setup. No flares or rolled fenders. We have the optional 5 1/2 JX14 Fuchs forged alloy wheels. |

Hello!
A bit late to the party, but here is my 914 on 14" Fuchs from when I bought the car about a year ago. 185/70 R14.    The car looks much different now. I've backdated the bumpers, fixed the trunk hinge, threw the rear spoiler into a wood chipper, had all the dents/scratches fixed, new motor/trans, and I have 15" Fuchs and Vreds on it. The 14's are for sale. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
