Just thinking about tires for my 914 and thought I'd see what the "914 faithful" are runnung.
I considered doing a poll, but there are just too many options and combinations... So what size/manufacturer/model boots do you have on your 914 and why. What application do you have? Street, CW, auto X, race....wheel size, stock fenders, GT flares , Sheridan wide body... I'll start... Current: 914-4 1.8 factory narrow body 205/50R15 "Champiro GT" on 15 x 7 aftermarket rims... good for rolling around the garage until resto is done. Planning 914-6 3.2 steel GT flares 225/45R16 Yokohama Advan A048 on 16 x 8 Fuchs for limited street use with lapping day duties. 16 inch to clear brake upgrades, 45 series to keep overall diameter under 24", Yokohama as this is the only decent performance tire available in this size. |

Pirelli CN36's! 175/70. Love 'em. Quiet, yet controlled. Not the best for auto-x, but have some A008R's for that. Cn36's look & act great for 28 years old. A008R's are onlt 16.
What the hell is is a Hankook? Something obscure like Vredestein? What the hell are you guys putting on your 914's - you ARE putting these wierdo tires on your 914 aren't you. Oh, and why? Yeppir, I'll get lotsogrief from this one, but then, I kinda like it. Pat |
