Good day PClub.

 

I deal with Bridgestone Tires on a regular basis. I've sold a number of sets this season.

If you or anyone is looking for Bridgestone Potenza's give me a shout.

The most popular style so far have been:

: S04 Pole Position

: RE11 if you came find them "back order"

: RE71R

 

Thanks, happy driving this summer.

 

Best,

Mike

Hey Mike,

On my '88 I am running RE11's in the standard 225/50-16 rear size and I probably will get another season out of them. Given that the rears wear twice as fast as the fronts I am interested in knowing if that size is still available? Thanks.

Hello Marc,

 

There are 4 "225 50 R16" RE11's in stock here in town. This is a rare occasion, normally on back order. If you scoop all 4 they will be on back order haha.

It's too bad that Bridgestone has gone away from making any decent tires in 15" for us old-timey folks.

Hi Keith,

You are so correct about the limited tire selection for the 15" wheel. My 944 originally came with 15x7. I went up to the 16x7&16x8 Turbo wheel but still had some troubles finding what I wanted for tires. I'm now running the 17" wheel where I have a wide verity of brands and styles to choose from.

 

Let me know if you need any help Keith.

See ya soon!!!

When we were at Luftgekuhlt last week, the curated portion was sponsored by Pirelli and they had the Pirelli people there highlighting their new re-issued classic tires, many N-rated and available though Porsche. You can imagine the cost, but at least there are some V rated 15" options.

 

I know when they were available in 15", many of the Early 911S and RGruppe guys ran the Potenzas and were very happy with them.

Keith, did they show any CN36's? I had a set of those on my old Scirocco, loved that tread pattern. Would look good on a longnose!

Good news!! Bridgestone Potenza tires are now available for the 16” wheels. Last season I couldn’t find matching front and rear tires for a couple different 944 Turbos but now I have you covered.

Wow! that is a wide tire, have you looked into other Bridgestone Potenza’s? I’m sure there’s something that would be comparable to the RE71R’s

Not 100% sure but I think most if not all sizes for the 16” wheel are available. I will call on Monday and confirm if this is true or not.
