Greetings to all.
30 years ago I sold my black 911s And have missed it every day!
So driving along the back roads here in Florida, I stumbled on a '76 930. Sitting lonely on the side of the road.
After a brief discussion with the mechanic/rep, and a spirited 'test' drive, I decided the car needed to come home with me. I asked the car, and she agreed I might be a good fit.
But she def needs new tires.
So...after looking online, I decided to ask the forum for the best dealers for her needed tires.
The sizes are 345x35xzr15 rear tires and 225x50x15 91v front tires.
Any have some hidden away for a special occasion that they'd like to part with or know of a great dealer?
Thanks to all reply's.

I think Pirelli is making a 345 35 15 again, expensive but your don't have many options. Coker tire sells a michelin race tire in a comparable size and folks have "grooved" hoosier race tires.
Enjoy,

And I thought 16" tires were getting hard to come by...

sheesh, we're a brutal crowd, aren't we?
Congrats on the find! I think most of us would love to have a very early 930. I know I would! They sound wickedly quick, wonderfully harsh & unforgiving! That's pure personality!
Tires are hard to find & often expensive. Your other option is to go with a stock or stock-appearing rim in a slightly larger & more common size. There are some pretty nice Fusch replica rims out there that will keep that classic look & give you more flexibility when it comes time to replace the rubber.

Congrats on the ride
I have a set of flawless Fuchs with michilins mounted
Stacked in the garage, I went with 18inch Porsche turbo rims and modern mich ss tires.
I'll sell the fuchs w the car if I decide to sell. 15 and 16 inch zr rated tires are very hard to find
