195/60-15 on a early 911S?

[Bobboloo]

I had 195/60-15 on 6x15 wheels on my 72' and it looked correct. 205/55 looks a little chubby but I like the look. Right now I've got 215/55 on later 7x15's on the car. It doesn't really look correct but not bad.

195/65 x 15 is the closest thing out there to the 185/70 x 15 original equipment tires.

Revs per Mile: 825.7 185/70
Revs per Mile: 832.6 195/65


Revs per Mile: 825.7 185/70
Revs per Mile: 859.1 195/60

Revs per Mile: 825.7 185/70
Revs per Mile: 842.7 205/60

As far as "rear tires":

Revs per Mile: 825.7 185/70
Revs per Mile: 827.0 215/60

Revs per Mile: 825.7 185/70
Revs per Mile: 840.7 225/55

Revs per Mile: 825.7 185/70
Revs per Mile: 872.1 225/50

If you want dead original go with the Michelin XWX from Coker at a pretty stiff price or buy the Fuldas someone mentioned. I have no idea where to buy them in the US.

Best to all,

These are the "chubby" 205 60 R15 bridgestone's on early deep six fuch's. I guess I got a chubby.

One of my other favorite cars. Shawn.

Yokohama A008P 195/65-15's on 6's and 7's work great for me

with those tall sidewalls it looks real retro compared to todays dubs

nice combination of comfort and stick when I want to get frisky (there's that word again)

I guess the A008P's in 195/65 are not available any more - bummer.

When things warm up around here I will take some photos - right now my photos are bigger than 100K and won't post here
