    They are fine for a Beetle but a Porsche wants Pirelli Cinturato Michelin XAS or XWX, but not XZX and definately not a white wall. YUK!

    I think my being rude about people fitting white wall tyres on European Sports cars maybe looses me as much business as my telling people that fitting oversized tyres on rear wheel drive classic sports cars is a misguided mistake made by cowards.

    No whitewalls? My red-on-red '67, as delivered in Kaiserslautern.

    I have a few Kardex for 356 in the 1958 & 1959 era with whitewalls; Conti, Dunlop and Phönix Weißwandreifen
    None listed for 911 or 912 though; so must be pretty rare.

    Can't help thinking white walls are fashion over function
