Deep 6 front and 7R rear tyre advice please
I need some advice.
1969 Porsche 911T currently fitted with 15” Fuchs. Deep 6 front and 7R rear.
Currently running Toyo Proxes CF1 195/65R15 91V front and 205/60R15 91V rear.
Car sits a drives nice but front passenger side needs replacing and I believe Toyo have stopped that Tyre.
Looking at options which I guess are finding a single CF1 somewhere, changing the front pair, or changing all 4.
This is what Longstone have suggested:
From 1968-73 Porsche fitted 185/70VR15 front and rear. We recommend the 185/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36, or the 185/70 VR 15 Michelin XWX, as OE tyres.
From 1973 and throughout the ‘70s various models of Porsche 911 started to fit 215/60 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36 on the rear.

I have Avon CR6ZZs on my 7R and Deep 6. Good tyres, nice and sticky. I bought them from Longstone Tyres.

Super tyres, but once the present stock has gone there will be no more, the Avon factory closes on December 31st

Pirelli CN36. Excellent road tyre, quite pricey though.
The force is strong in this one ......
Re: Deep 6 front and 7R rear tyre advice please
The CF ones are 'comfort', apparently? They're on to CF2 now, which I think was an '80s Bedford van.
You can get TR1s in the sizes you're looking for, which have a cooler tread pattern. I've always been impressed with Toyos, FWIW.

Thanks misteralz. Didn't fully understand sorry initially, so I've done a bit of googling.
Don't know why I went for CFs, but I was told they were the ones I needed by a pal who races early 911s. He probably knows I'm more comfort than anything else.
So you are suggesting Toyo Proxes TR1 are worth a look?

Definitely, yes.
