(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) Andy So the Haynes manual is wrong? Well, I wouldn't be totally surprised. But I thought I read in my other references that tire size as well...I'll need to check when I get home. Or was that tire size available like the Sportomatic?

I have two Brooklands Books (ISBN's: 0-948207-45-0 and 0-906-589-843) on the Porsche 914 (magazine articles of the time) and I have tagged several articles where cars were tested with 155 SR 15 tires. Not just listed on the data sheet like the automatic tranny, actually tested using the tire. The 155 was designated for the 914/4 (early models) while the 165 was for the 914/6. The 165 was also an upgrade and later became stock on later models. This is what I've read from the magazine articles, some USA, some European (and one Austrailian, a Crayford right-hand drive conversion!).
I also found it in my VW/Porsche 914/4 1.7 and 2.0 Litre Repair Guide by Peter R.D. Russek, Glovebox Series, ISBN 0-903168-93-6, and in the Grp. 6, section 4.1, Porsche 914 914/6 workshop manual. Simply what I've read so far. |
