Milou, what sizes are you running?Quote:
I think Michelin tires remain the best. XAS on the 912 and very 1965 911 (more gentle on the drive train), XWX on the 1968 911S.
That's fantastic Greg, and yes, they are available and inexpensive. They seem much like the BFG's and the Goodyears mentioned above.Quote:
Lately I've been using Falkens, per my local tire guy (requirements was "grippy" and available in those sizes): ZE 912s to be precise. I first got them for my 912 (how appropriate, I should paint the 912 designation in white on the tire) in 205/60 and liked them, so I got the same model in 195/65s for the 911 because I like the feel of 195/65 a little better. They are a decent tire and dirt cheap to boot. If it makes anyone feel better Falken runs a Porsche team in the ALMS so it's not like they are unknown...
In reading about these tires I'm starting to get the sense that finding a tire that has excellent performance, longevity and low price is much like finding a good, fast, cheap restaurant... they are few and far between, and when you do find one they generally serve salsa with everything.
So what about those of you who take your cars to the track? I assume you're not running super-expensive vintage tires for track days, and you're not running all-weather passenger tires. So what super-stickies are you running, and what sizes do you prefer?
