Tyres for 2.7 RS

[DoubleThink]

Coming up to replace tyres on my early 911 hot rod. Currently have Avon CR6ZZ - 185/70/15 and 215/60/15. On twisty roads they are great - lots of grip when warm and very direct steering. Downsides: very stiff sidewalls so harsh, road noise, they don't come with much tread when new and wear out quickly. And they are expensive (will be around £1000 to replace all 4).

I want to keep the same profile as I don't think low-profile looks right. Finding it very hard to source alternatives with those sizes (could perhaps change fronts to 195/65).

Any suggestions?

The difficulty is finding matching fronts and rears

I run Goodyear Eagles and very happy - a quiet and compliant tyre - but don't think they are available in the matching specs any longer

Pirelli do the 6000s in n spec - 215/60s and 195/65s

There's a thread on DDK if you can find it

I have found some Goodyear Eagles but they are H rated for 195/65 and V rated for 215/60. Not sure if this matters.

Probably not 'H' is 130 mph isn't it. You may also find the loading is slightly different, but again it shouldn't matter.

Can't contribute anything on tyres but hope you guys enjoy the pics
