We are getting a 1972 911T back on the road after sitting for 30 years. The tires are at least 30 years old. The tire on the spare is a Michelin WXW 185/70VR15. The tires on the car are 215/60R15. I can get the Michelin WXW for $312 each, I would rather not, as this will be a driver, not a concourse restoration. Does anyone have suggestions on tires? The car will be used in Montana, mostly in the spring, summer and fall. Thanks Phil

(there is the thread on the forum on the engine and tranny breakdown and reassembly, install under Desert Barn Find, 1972 911T)

185//70 on 6X15 ET36 would have been a performance tire choice back in the day but the Michelin XWX in t eh same size a good alternative. Both are around $30 ea now. The Pirellis are a reissue clone in looks but w/ more modern design and materials

If oe isn't requisite then 7x15 ET23.3 205/50 or 205/55 or 195/60 or 195/55 is a nice upgrade, any of these tires can also be used on the 6x15 but 7 will give better results

there are also some cheaper alternatives in 185/70 to the Pirellis or Michelins, Avon, Vredestein among them

I heard that Yokohama has reissued the A008

I went with Pirelli CN36 on my 1972.
I used Vredestein Sprint Classics on my 67S and Avon CR6ZZ on my 1969T.

I'm a big fanboy of the CN36. Not cheap. They drive fantastic! Great grip and very progressive in break away when driven properly, and "look" the part.
