Pneus 205/55 R16

A: Both the Michelin 205/55 R16 SX MXX3 and the 205/55 R16 Pirelli P7 are excellent tyres. Worth noting that these tyres can be matched up with other tyres in the tread pattern SX MXX3 and Pirelli P7. Particularly when fitting to Classic Porsche. The P7 also has options for Ferrari 308, 328 and Mondial.

A: They are not the cheapest 205/55 R16, however the 205/55 R16 Pirelli P7 can be matched up with the 225/50 R16 Pirelli P7 & 245/40 R16 Pirelli P7 which are period correct Porsche tyres which also have N homologation.

A: Originally Ferrari fitted the 205/55 R16 Goodyear NCT Gator back on the front and the 225/50 R16 Goodyear Gatorback NCT on the rear. But in their literature they also recommended the 205/55 R16 Pirelli P7 with the 225/50 R16 P7 on the rear.

A: In Porsche 911 Carrera were still fitting the 185/70 R15 Pirelli CN36 & 215/60 R15 CN36 in 1984. However Porsche as with their 930 also offered the 16” Pirelli Cinturato P7 set up, which was initially 205/55 R16 P7 on the front and 225/50 R16 P7 on the rear. In 1985 The Porsche 911 Carerra Super Sport had a wider rear with 245/45 R16 P7 on the rear, as did the Porsche 911 Turbo. Fortunately Pirelli are making the P7 today which is homologated by Porsche with the N homologation as their recommended tyre for the Porsche 911 from 1975 & throughout the 1980 as these Pirelli Cinturato P7 were also fitted to the Porsche 911SC. Michelin also make 205/55 R16
More good news for early Porsche 930, 911 RS & 911 Carrera owners is that the 205/50 R15, 225/50 R15 & even 285/40 R15 Pirelli Cinturato P7 tyres are being made again homologated by Porsche with the N as their recommended tyre for that brief period of their top of the range air cooled 911 fitting crazy wide Fuch wheels. Between 1975 & 1977.

A: The original tyre on the Porsche 924 turbo were either 185/70 R15 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 or the 205/55 R16 Pirelli P7. The Porsche 924 S also offered the 205/55 R16 Pirelli P7 as their 16” wheel option, just like the 931.
