It varied... my 84 was delivered with Dunlops and many of the later cars came with Yokohama AOO8P's.

It varied widly. If you do a search for this topic, or similar you will see where I compiled somewhat of a list from what people told me they had originally.

My early 85 NA came with Pirelli P6. The 86 Turbo came with Dunlop's.

Pirelli P6's were the front of my 924S. Unsure if they were original or not, but they defenetley looked like. Alot of dry rot and cracking on them.

That's just a "feature" of Pirellis. My P6's and P600's dry rotted long before the tires reached the wear bars.
