Hi all,

Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm a new 914-4 owner and am looking for help in deciding on a new set of tires for my 1973 2.0L. The car is pretty much stock but I hope to take it to an occasional AX but mostly drive it in the back canyons.

It won't be out in the rain, so I am not worried about hydroplaning or such.

I'm looking at Yoko Advan A048, Toyo Proxes R888R and Falken Azenis RT615K+

Does anyone have experience with these on their cars? Or any suggestions for any other brand/type of tire?

thanks.
Mitch

Thanks... the 200 wear is a positive aspect.
