    Firestone Precision Sports Tires - Any users?

    As the pool of 15" tire choices continues to dwindle I'm wondering if anyone here has run Firestone Precision Sports in 185/65/15's and/or their 205/60/15's? I'm wanting to run 6's and 7's on my '69 Polo powered 912. Is this a good choice? I'm not going to be tracking the car however aggressive driving will be occurring, only on occasion Any feed back or other choices would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I like the Goodyear Eagle Sport in 195 x 65 x 15 and they are 'V' rated.

    Bought these a few years ago after hearing Ed speak highly of them and I have not been disappointed. Of course if you want the lettering you need to do that yourself.

    I have been super happy with the Pirelli Trofeo R tires, great grip and stiff sidewall. Performs more like a modern tire.
    If you can run a 205/50/15. I have 7's all the way around with rolled fenders.
    A few pictures for reference...

    ibmiked, I like the look. What length are your wheel studs? Nice lettering too.

    Chris, no problems with rubbing on the fronts? I assume you lowered it too?
