Best tyre choice for 1988 911 Carrera targa?

Post by nickw00d »

It's time to change all four tyres. I'm currently running "Nexen" all round, and to be fair, they've been OK but a bit "bouncy." I feel I could do much better. Any suggestions on what's the best choice please? PS: I'd prefer not to have to re-mortgage the house to pay for them! Thanks.

road or track? sizes?

Personally i prefer Michelin - but don't know if they make PS4 small enough ( am guessing 15"/16") I would guess Kumho PS31 or Falken will be the best of the mid range for dry grip though Uniroyal Rainexperts are fine in those sort of sizes / profiles to.

Thanks Sean. I was thinking "Bridgestone" too.
