Does anyone have experience or photos of their 914-6 fitted with Vredestein 185-14 Sprint Classic tires on Fuchs? Thanks in advance for any info.

Perfect!

Thanks for the photo -- If Irish green, same color as mine!! I'll order a set. I see you can use a correct rear valance -- can't believe what I had to go thru to get one after missing a NOS one (sold for $250!) at Hersey 2015 by less than a second -- someone else had their hands on it first -- just missed it !:(

Thanks again

well, mine is "83 - metallic green" smile.gif

the correct rear valance is already here, I'll install it when the season starts (we've still winter with snow and salt)

Id be interested in your source and your satisfaction with both them and the tires. I need to order a set as well for my 71 914-6.
Thanks!

Agree, but 185/14 tire dimensions offered by this tire are identical to original -- 7.4 x 25.6. As I see it, if you're looking to run a correct classic 14 inch tire this is it, understanding there are "modern" tires that are close in size, may perform better, and are less expensive.

agree.gif - the Vredestein Sprint Classic was the only one I found with the original dimension

it was damn expensive, but hey ... it's the original one biggrin.gif
