    looking for 185-70-15 tires

    I'm looking for the stock tire size for the early 911. 185-70-15. All I have found is Vredestein Sprint Classic for about $135 each. The catch is they are not available until February 2012. Any other options out there?

    Coker has the Michelin XWX copies but I think they're 4-500 bucks each!

    Has anybody seen the new classic tire that sort of looks like XWX 's that Lucas tire has just put on their web site? I think they are called Becker and they come in 185 x 70 x15. Chris

    Blockley... a British maker that produces several classic tires. I haven't seen the sidewalls but it does mimic the XWX tread.

    the stupid thing now a days..is that there is no tire in the 70 series ...that will have safety rating past 130 mph... there are tires that are 65 series..i think pirelli's that would go up as high as 130...the michellin in 65 ..is only rated to 115...wich kinda sucks...for those who want to take the classic for a sunday curvy road work out...
