mrdunlop944 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Good day PClub. I deal with Bridgestone Tires on a regular basis. I've sold a number of sets this season.

mrdunlop944 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi Perci, what size are your tires? I will get you a price tomorrow. I'm running the RE71R I like your style Quote 84 944 SOLD 85 944/1 85.5 944 Parts car Sold 86 944 SOLD 86 944 Turbo SOLD 88 944S parts car sold 88 924S Sold 88 944 Turbo S SOLD 89 944 Turbo 90 944S2 coupe Sold 90 944S2 coupe Parts car Sold 90 944S2 Cabrio SOLD Link to comment
9Elfer Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 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. Marc Quote Link to comment
mrdunlop944 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 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.

Keith Adams Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 It's too bad that Bridgestone has gone away from making any decent tires in 15" for us old-timey folks. Quote Link to comment

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!!!

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. Quote Link to comment
9Elfer Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 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! Marc 88 Carrera 3.2 Quote Link to comment
Keith Adams Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 They sure did Marc - such a great vintage pattern. They were extolling that with these "reissued" tires, everything is modern except the tread. They are using the old outer molds for the pattern, but the beading, belting and rubber compounds are all the latest and greatest. https://www.cinturato.net/pirelli-cinturato-cn36.html Quote Link to comment

mrdunlop944 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 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.

dragon Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 too bad they don't make the re71r's in a 325/30r19 or 315/30r19, otherwise I'd give those tires a try. Quote Link to comment
mrdunlop944 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 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 Quote 84 944 SOLD 85 944/1 85.5 944 Parts car Sold 86 944 SOLD 86 944 Turbo SOLD 88 944S parts car sold 88 924S Sold 88 944 Turbo S SOLD 89 944 Turbo 90 944S2 coupe Sold 90 944S2 coupe Parts car Sold 90 944S2 Cabrio SOLD Link to comment

malcolm Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 so the 245 width remains unavailable?

mrdunlop944 Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 so the 245 width remains unavailable? 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.
