What tyres for 944 phone dials?

[Phil3822]

Hi all, been advised due to some cracks in the walls of my tyres I could do with some new ones. Also they are budget tyres so do wish to replace soon ish. Currently I have 215/60/15 on all four wheels. They look nice enough but is this the correct size? What do most people have? Many thanks,

Hi Phil,

there is a nice list of porsche recommended tyres for classics. Check the link below.

For some reason there is no 15 inch tyres for 944 in UK list but I've used 924 one.

Porsche recommends the following:
195/65/R15 - Pirelli P6000
195/65/R15 - Dunlop SP Sport FastResponce
215/60/R15 - Pirelli P6000

I've used the second option and got them off web shop for £55 each not a long time ago.

Hope this helps.

cheers, Yuriy

Very helpful thanks. One question though, the 195/65 tyres, I assume they are a thicker tyre wall? My current ones fill out the wheel arch a fair bit already in depth. The 195/65 are a fair bit cheaper though so they look like the better option. I like the thick tread on the 215's though so am thinking the 195's would look skinny.
