Coker also has the vintage pirellis in 185/70 I believe as well as Vredestein (sp) in 165's. Cool there are some new options for us now!

I really do not like those Vredestein tires, seems like the side wall flexes too much and makes the car ride a bit like it is on jello. PLUS for us concours guys the tread pattern and big letters on the side does not give the car the true vintage look. Tires are inexpensive though as compared to Michelins

195/65 will not drive as well. you are better off with a proper period tyre. 165hr15 xas or pirell cn36 is what Porsche themselves homologated as their suggested tyre. Porsche also homologate 185/70r15 cinturato cn36 but a 195/65 will not be as nice to drive on unless you change the camber and stiffen the suspension and basically make it more of a race car, and of course less pleasant on the road

Well Mooty and i have driven both a bit. I feel pretty similar. Maybe Avon has a little more grip.
but i just can’t get enough of the look of the cn36. Love them.
