Stupid Porsche 944 Tire Tricks

Updated 4-25-2001

A pair of CompTA 215/60 on the front, and Firestone SZ50 EPs 225/60 on the rear.

All 15".  Yes, it subtly slopes down.

$250 for the pair, shipped, from Tirerack.

 

Here it is with front and rear 225/60's

The front tires rub when turning hard and braking (at the same time).

It's not horrible screeching rubbing, just gentle rubbing
(but it would be nice if they didn't).

New Sneakers! The SZ50's gave me just about 10 years of tread life before I needed to replace them. Went back to the stock size, with the assumption that I'd get better acceleration, top speed, and fuel mileage. Can't say about the fuel mileage but acceleration is much better!

Falken ZE-912 / 4 x $60 + $34 shipping = $274. From Vulcan Tire.

Installation was $85 at the local Mobil station. Talked them down from $25/wheel. Probably should have taked some more. It took them barely 20 minutes to swap them.
