    Tires for stock 1972 911T

    Greetings,

    It's cold and wet and unspring-like. I feel like talking tires.

    I need a new set for a 1972 911T, with stock 6x15 Fuchs. This is mostly a backroads spirited driver, maybe an autocross here and there. For years, I have been running 205/60 very happily. My current tire is a Sumitomo HTR something-or-other, at least 7 years old, and they have done the job nicely. I always "time out" tires, and never wear out treads. 100 mph is achievable in theory, but not in reality.

    A lot of the advice I get is to go with 185/70 or 195/65 and look at Vredestein Sprint Classics, Avon CR6ZZ, Pirelli CN36, or Pirelli P6000. I'm not going for concours points. I just want good fresh rubber with a nice sporty tread pattern.

    My plan is to stick with "modern" touring tires, and in particular I am looking at the Michelin Premier A/S in 205/60 or even 205/65. I have these tires on my Lexus RX, and on the Lexus they have been nothing short of the best overall tire I've ever tried. Quiet, comfy and competent in dry, rain and light snow.

    Please give me you opinions on my plan, and other tire suggestions for 6x15 rims on stock early 911s.

    Keep the rubber on the road,

    Alex
