Tires for My 911 cab

Hi All,
I have an 84 cab and it will be time for new tires soon. I have 7" Fuchs on front and 9"s on the back. Right now I am running BF Goodrich G Force Sport 225/50ZR 16 92W on the front and 245/50 ZR16 97W on back.

Actually great tires but I really would like to find something lower profile. These are pretty fat

Any suggestions???? Recs where to buy?

I am going through the same process with 16x7s front and 16x9s back. I am told that the proper tire sizes for this combo are 205/55-16 on front and 245/45/16 on back. In this combo, at least for street (not track only) tires, your one and only choice from Tire Rack are the Pirelli P-Zero Rossa. You can find Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s from other online sites I've never heard of, but I'd prefer to buy from someone I've heard of.

16x7s front and 16x9s back Toyo Proxes T1R the 225/50/16 on the front is too fat and I have a little rub ,,,, my shock inserts need replacing and maybe that will help the rears with the 245/45 are looking good and fit nice on a 81 sc coupe
