    Well, the original Dunlops were nothing to write home about back in the day, these would have to be better than originals.

    Thanks for the information. I wondered what the P designation meant. Not sure I would like that either. When it comes to the 14 inch Fuch there isn't too much available.

    You can see it clearly on this photo. Looks good on the CX but not on a 911 I think.

    Have Dunlop Classic on all 4 corners on 215x60x15 and they are very good - wet/dry/cold/hot. Looks great on a 911 with these classic scripting.
    very good value for money - Previously used Vederstein Classic Sprint I Like both.

    I've been putting the Vredestein Sprint Classics on all my early cars for years and have always been happy with them. But i might try the Dunlops just based on their looks. Very nice looking tires.
