My beloved newly purchased 924S (1988) needs a set of new tyres. And as I will drive it all year round as much as possible ( I share a " winter" Polo with my lady), I would love some advice as to what are the best all-weather tyres. Thanks for your help in advance!

you can get them in 195 65 although 205 60 would be a good fit too

Black circles have the 195s at £66 each and £25 off if you buy all 4, bit of a bargain £239

205s are £105 each and again £25 off making it £395

I'd prefer the 205s (195 if no power steering) but at that price i'd probably go for the 195s

My friend has them on his 924S and he's been on one of my spirited welsh tours and also had an outing on track with them. I chatted to him last night after seeing your post. He has done 18k miles on them and still plenty of tread left. he really likes them

I have two sets of wheels on my std 924S, one with pure winter tyres on but i'll be going for cross climates when they both wear out. Sadly they didn't do this size when i got my last set
