16" tires

By coincidence the wheels on my 914-6 are from a 930: Fuchs 7x16 and 8x16. I currently have Hankook 225/45 front and Hankook 245/45 rear.

The tires apparently aren't make anymore and I am having trouble finding matching front and rear tires.

What do you 930 16" guys use/recommend?

N3 rated Bridgstone SO2 225/50 -ZR16's and 205/55 -ZR16's seem to suit the car well.

And to think that I get the opportunity to REALLY mess with Ronnie....seeing how I run 18's on the rear and 17's up front.

I think I can see the smoke emanating from his ears from here :}

The smoke is emanating from my bungholio, Mark! No, NOT the same as my ear(s)!

And Paul, no, the smoke is NOT the result of friction down thar!!!!

Too funny about the almost simil-postage, BTW.
