185/70VR15 Front & 215/60VR15 Rear

For Porsche 914 & 914-6 GT Wide-Body Applications

For Porsche 914 owners who want modern road manners without sacrificing period-correct appearance, the Pirelli Cinturato CN36 remains one of the most respected vintage-performance tire options available. PMB Performance selected this package as the "Best" tier setup for drivers who value authentic early-Porsche aesthetics, sharp chassis communication, and warm-weather grip that complements the lightweight balance of the mid-engine 914 platform.

Originally developed during the golden era of European sports cars, the modern CN36 preserves the classic tread design and sidewall proportions enthusiasts expect while incorporating updated internal construction and compound technology. Pirelli engineered the tire with a dual-ply carcass reinforced by high-tensile steel belts and nylon overlays that improve tread stability, high-speed composure, and steering precision without making the ride feel harsh or overbuilt.

On a Porsche 914 or 914-6 GT wide-body build, the staggered 185/70VR15 front and 215/60VR15 rear sizing maintains the light, communicative steering feel these cars are known for while giving the rear of the chassis noticeably more grip and stability under acceleration. The result is a tire package that feels natural, progressive, and confidence-inspiring during canyon driving, fast sweepers, and longer highway tours.

Classic Porsche Feel Without Vintage Tire Compromises

The CN36 works especially well on classic Porsche chassis because it preserves the natural feedback and steering character enthusiasts expect from lightweight air-cooled cars. Turn-in remains light and communicative during normal driving, but the reinforced construction keeps the tire composed and stable once cornering loads increase. It delivers the vintage appearance owners want without the vague handling and inconsistent behavior associated with older tire technology.

Tire selection dramatically influences how a classic Porsche behaves on the road.

PMB Performance carefully selects tire packages that preserve the driving character that made vintage Porsche platforms legendary in the first place.

The Pirelli Cinturato CN36 "Best" Package is ideal for Porsche 914 and 914-6 GT owners looking for an authentic vintage appearance, modern warm-weather performance, and a tire package that feels genuinely correct on a lightweight air-cooled Porsche.
