again tyre size for 86' 911
I have a 1986 911, my front tyres have to be replaced, and I don't no what tyre to choose.
The car is fitted with fuchs 15 inch and bridgestone re 71,the size at the rear is 215/60 and at the front 205/55. A local porsche specialist said that this combination is wrong and that I should have 195/65 at the front to match with the back tyres. can you buy good tyres in this size ?

The person advising you is correct. The correct tire for the 15" rim is 195/65. If you had the optional 16" rims, then you would want to go to 205/55 on the front and 225/50 on the back. Bridgestone RE71 are a good all around tire for your car.
