Street-AX tire selection, Help with tire choice? Options

[MitchRossi]

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

For street/ax, first check the rule book. Some of the sticky tires are a bit "too sticky" and may cause your car to be classed where it won't due well.

That said, I am on year two on a set of Falken Azenis 615s and they are a great tire. NOT noisy. Good sidewall and tread. Good predictable grip. Won my AX class the last 2 years as well with them vs a well driven 911T on RA1's

I prefer the RA-1s to R888s.
