Default 924 CGT - Tires

Does anyone know which tyre/tires were OEM on the 924 Carrera GT when it was launched? Thanks

15s were 215-60-15. If you had 16" wheels fronts were 205-55-16.and the rears were 225-50-16.

Thanks, and yes, it's a real GT. I'm not sure of the code - the work is being done at Porsche at GB HQ, so I assume they are using the correct one...
Once it's finished in the body shop I'm getting it back for a couple of remaining mechanical fixes at local OPC, then new tires as the last step!

Are you on this website? porsche924.co.uk
If not, you should be
Dont be so sure they got the paint right, it happend before...some things just slip.
It might be the photo and the angle but to me it looks a bit too cherry.
924 Carrera GTs are fantastic cars.

I spend enough time on websites already...but I'll have another look at that one, thanks.
pretty sure the colour is just the photo, it looks less cherry in this earlier one, and photos are always slightly off real life:

Thanks for sharing the photos.
If you're from UK and you're into 924s you MUST be on that website. Its the biggest 924 organized comunity. I've driven my two 924s from Romania to a very big event at Silverstone organized by the club this year.
