15 Tire brands / specs ?

Perfect timing for me. I just purchased a set of refurbished 15 x 6 Fuchs last week.
Can I get some tire brands / specs on what you guys are running?

I have a 76 911S w stock fenders.

I checked tire rack and a few other spots. In reading over the PP forums I understand
selection is limited.
Thanks!

Lots of 15 inch choice out there. Sticky 205/50 for track days, 195/65 in all-season, some even VR rated. 205/60 for some bulge. 185/70 for period look. They are out there, helping to keep gearing and overall wheel/tire weight optimal.

my green car pictured above is a '76 and has 205/50-15's on 6 &7's in that pic. they were too small for my tastes as they geared the car too low and i had to lower the car too far to make them fit well. car is mostly a daily driver for me, i got tired of bottoming out on driveways all the time.

i ended up with yokohama s drives in 205/55-15 all around and found them to be a nice compromise. sticky enough for really spirited driving but tall enough to cruise on the highway...
