OK, some of youknow I just picked up a 914 with a 3.2, baby needs new shoes.
Currently the car has 7&8's on it with 225/245 16'S I have 7&9's from my 911 Im thinking of morphing them and using the pairs as 8&9's. would 245's all around be ok? I want to try and get 315's on the 9's but im not sure if that will work. Given the weight distribution of the 914 is it ok to use the same sized tires on it ( for track use)? |

I asked similar questions elicited some pertinent responses.
Yes, same size at both ends does work, but the folks responding didn't have the hp that you have. You may find that this will cause an unacceptable power oversteer condition. I can't report on my plans to use the same size all around cause I haven't done it yet.....also, mine is an AXer and our needs are different. Have you considered slicks? You may be able to live with 10s at both ends...or 9s in front. Your wheels would work there (9s & 10s slicks ), me thinks. I haven't BTDT and have been wrong before. :toilet: |
