Looks like a Bridgestone, possibly a Potenza RE71
Those and the A008 were the hot tires in the early 90's.
'67 911S
'69 911S
'70 911ST
'73 911T Targa Signal Yellow
'78 911SC backdate EFI 3.4 turbo
'11 Spyder
Early S#1097, R-gruppe #
I believe they are Yokohama AVS Intermediates...
I went through about 4 sets from '89 till I couldn't get them anymore...
IMHE - They were hands down the BEST 60 series Ultra-Performance street tire ever made …
I ran 205 x 60 on 7's in front and 215 x 60 on 8's in back...
They were only a couple of ticks off a DOT...
When they stopped making them I turned to the Bridgestone S-03 in 205 X 55 and 225 X 50... (by that time no more 60's)
IMHE - They were the best Ultra-Performance street tire that came after the AVS's...…
When they stopped making THEM I went with TOYO RA1 50 series DOT's to this day...
If anyone still made a 60 series tire (for a reasonable price) that could come up to either of those old tires I'd put'm on today....
… and so it goes

all i remember about the yokohamas is that they did not last very long on my E30
It all depends what you consider 'not very long'?all i remember about the yokohamas is that they did not last very long on my E30
I got about a little less then 8k out of both the AVS and S-03 rears... about 12k for the fronts
Those were HARD miles on very sticky street tires... and I was happy...
I get a little less then 6K out of the RA1 rears, again HARD miles on DOT's (and track the same tires about once a year)
Here in SoCal you get to drive on DOT's almost all year long....
I drive my '73 about 6K a year, and considering there is no Ultra-Performance street tires in my size... I'm still happy...
