Brand new owner of an 84 Carrera 3.2 Targa. The car isn't in great shape, but tires are the priority and I'm hoping for some recommendations based on driving description below.
(I realize there are other similar forums, but I have different set of criteria i.e. no track days, tight budget)

• Tight budget
• Brand new to stick/rear engine driving
• CT/New England - 95% Dry - Spring/Summer/Fall driving
• No track days, but will push the car a little on on twistys
• Car isn't in fantastic shape, so a tire that helps take a little bit of the edge off while still feeling a little sporty
• Not sure what size Fuchs I have

Will be purchasing these tires over the winter to have them new for first spring drive - this means I'll be able to keep an eye out of discounts and sales over the next few months. Any recommendations on where to purchase/how to find deals would be appreciated as well. Please explain different tires impact on driving experience like you are talking to a 10 year old.

Thanks,
H

Continental Extremecontact Sport. I have had them on a couple of cars including my 3.2 and think they're a great performing, quiet, value tire.

+1 for tire rack. Michelins all the way are worth the money.

When we got our car (1991!) it had snow tires on it which are about half the price. A good way to take off some performance too...

FYI the Lugnuts are light Alloy And easily molested by standard tools if you're not careful. I have the special vinyl socket if you want to borrow it

I put Pirelli P6000's on mine last year -- been very happy with them. 195/65's in front and 215/60's in the rear.

I'll second the Conti ExtremeContact Sports for a great performing summer tires, or Extrmemcontact DWS if you are looking for all seasons.

Need to know your wheel size. Look on the sidewalls.

When I have the option, I go with Michelin tires. I have them on my '10 C4S and my '16 Audi S3. Quiet and ride nice.
