225/50 and 245/45 I'm sure if one wanted to go wider, the ft/rr could handle 245 and 265 easily...turn-in at slow speed would be difficult though w/o pwr.

 

What brand?

 

Any brand will fit in that size...no problem. For an inexpensive, great summer tire that has decent life (5-7K for the rear) I have been using the BFG G-Force tires. I have had good luck with the Mich. Pilot Sports and Cups,although for more than twice the price at tire rack, I do not see the need. My 89 Carrera has a set of Avons that I like as well...so far. Ant Toyo makes a great tire. Heck, they are all so good now days from the major brands it all depends on what you like. I like a vintage looking tread design unlike the Yoko AVS series for my older cars...it 'looks' better to me. Others will disagree though so it is really up to you.

Good luck. Go to tire racks website and do a compairison. Thats usually where I start.

 

Thank you sir

 

at the risk of bumping another very old thread - I'm 38 and this is my first Porsche - an '88 930 in white - totally stock.

 

I think I was about 38 as well when I bought my first Porsche....a '72 Targa. That was about 18 years ago.
Now that it's in your blood, you will be hooked for life.

 

You got that right... lol

my first Porsche was a '69 912 targa 23 years ago.
I was 32.

wish i kept it but it was rusty.

 

Now 27 years old, was 24 when I got my first 930.

 

43, bought the 930 four years ago

 

43 here.... I had a 2003 996 before my 930... Turbo much more fun.....

 

Just turned 48. My first Porsche at 37 was an N/A '88 911

 

I'm 48...bought my 930 just when I turned 48 about 8 months ago. Never owned any other Porsches. Always wanted to own a 930 since I was a teenager. Oh yeah, I'm definitely hooked!

 

I recently turned 64 and I am very late to this party... I bought my '79 930 new in 1982 from a dealer/collector in Santa Monica, CA...

 

Mike, look like you win again!
