    Catalog of Original Tires

    Topic came up as an adjunct to several threads --- like this one . . .
    http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...1-Kardex-Dates

    . . . about re-issued vintage tires . . .


    . . . which begs several questions --- like? . . .

    . . . just what were the OEM tires fitted to Early 911s Back in the Day

    My Kardex says Pirelli --- but anyone w/ Dunlop, Michelin, Semperit, Uniroyal, etc?


    So? --- drag out yer barn-finds/low-milers/time-capsules/field rescues/etc . . . and show us whatcha got?

    Nice vintage pics will do, as well . . .


    . . . and let's try to stick w/ Porsches, shall we?





    And 'pologize if this topic 's come up before

    (Looked . . . but could not find)

    Catalog of Original Tires

    Here are two bulletins from the late 1960s, for US Porsche distributors.
    These charts were based on factory tire recommendations for various Porsche models.

    Here's a place that seems to have that kind o' stuff --- SoCal's Best of France + Italy Show --- see post #14 . . .
    http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ighlight=siata

    These 're kinda tall/narrow --- maybe 356, even? . . . but --- still have their stickers!


    Wish I'd taken more/better pictures, now . . .
