I’ve been thinking the same thing about putting narrow tires on my car. It has more grip then I want. I want it to be a little loose to have fun at a lower limit, maybe even some over stead. Does anyone have experience with a stock 914? Does it have body role? And will tall side walls allow it to move?
i have a 1.8 74, it was overtyred due to limited options in the 90s.
b f goodrich T/A 195 whatever profile.
horrible.
i tyred up with 165 michelin XAS about a year ago.
i love it.
it rolls into corners and i guess it slides, it feels like it.
for sure this is a softer compound that whatever they used in the 60s/70s.
depends what you have. a wimpy 1.8 is just right on a very good quality skinny.
i'm really digging it.
going to take it to skid pan soon and find out all about it.
but i think its very good. i am dead certain what i have is a car that slides a bit, rather than gripping and gripping way beyond what it can power out of - which is where it was before years ago.
i know people put vreds on for the look, but they are not in the same league as the michies. i know guys running the michie 165s on 912s and some early 911 long noses that still actually get driven. they said i would not be disappointed. i'm not.
but you might want to step up a bit if you are putting out more horsepower.
