Recently, I bought a set of Eta Beta Krone, 18 inch, three piece wheels to fit on my C4 targa. Elie at Voodoo has done an excellent refurbishment job and now I need to choose some suitable tyres.
I've studied the fora and tyre dealers' sites hard, asked far too many people far too many inane questions and I've finally come up with a set that I think will do the job.
I am aware of the 'N' issue. So, to be on the safe side with my insurers, I've gone for an 'N' rated tyre. I've chosen Continentals for two reasons. Firstly, they seem to be quite popular on 964s and secondly, if one buys two or more Continental tyres at the moment, one gets a free weekend hotel stay.
My driving style is leisurely. The car won't be tracked and nowadays, I'm more of a pootler than a drifter. However, I can still get a move on when I fancy.
So, here's my choice. Would they be suitable?
Front: 225/40/18 Continental SportContact 2 88ZR
Rear: 265/35ZR18 CONTI Sport Contact 2 N2
Thank you.
