What size tires to replace 185/70-15

The "original" tire size for my car was 185/70-15 Since that size isn't readiy available, what size would you recommend?

195/65-15. Towards the end of the 3.2 Carrera run, that's what Porsche used for the standard front size instead of the 185/70-15.

You can still buy 185/70/15's, try Vanderstein (spelling ?) a true European tire reasonably priced.

This above should answer your question.....but tire size is dependent on rim width.
