Looking for input on Tires

[popowitz]

I have 15x7 Fuchs on all 4 corners of my '73. I currently have 205/55/15 Potenza tires on it. It's time for new. I was hoping to get the same size tires as they are the most tire that I can fit in the wheel well without rubbing. The Potenza's are pricey and the I am finding that the pickings are slim. Does anyone have experience with Yokohama S Drive or Dunlop Direzza DZ101 or Kumho Ecsta 4X?

Thanks

Dave

What might be nice would be listing of all available 15" available. I heard of a few German brands and then of course Falkens. I had Yokos and Dunlops on another kind of front wheel sports car and I liked the Yoks.. way more. Kumho, I've seen on Fuchs and, they look ok, not bad, not great ..but ok. I do know drivers like them better than Yokos.

You should be able to run 225/50/15 on all four corners... that's why I do on my non-flaired '75.

Are you running 7R's or standard 7x15 fuchs?

[davewadd]

Standard 7" wheels. I do the same for autox, with 7" cookie-cutters.

I don't love my s.drives, they are good touring car tires, but not really sporty enough for me on the 911s.

I have the Dunlops in a 16"(x6) on my 71 in a "215" 55, bought them for the bit of extra width, no way to do 225 on a early car with out fender lip work & more. I think they also have the 215 in the 1"
I love the tire great grip, has a bit of a bead lip where it comes off the rim giving it a wider deeper look.
I have a set of Minilite 15 x 6.5's i am going to be replacing 205-55 16 (x6) Fuchs on my 66, I am planning on the Dunlop in the 205 0r 215 x 15 for the swap,
Note to self, get them painted!!

Regards


Edit, added Fuch width 16x6
