Tires for '86 Porsche 944 Turbo?

The stock sizes are 205/55/16 and 225/50/16 (Fronts and rears respectively)

Anybody have recommendation for good all-season tires - preferably something with pretty good light snow performance?

I have the new Avon Tech M550, Dunlop SP5000, and the Continental ContiExtremeContact

anything else I should look at too?

Thanks

I picked up a 1994 Audi 90S w/ 130k miles on it last December for $2500 for the winter. My 86 951 comes off the road soon so I can tear apart the suspension and upgrade. Something to consider.

I see that the SP Sport 5000s in 225/50/16s are on back order though. What about the Continental Conti Extreme Contact?

BTW, I'll avoid the really rough stuff, just need to occasionally get around. I'll hitch a ride otherwise...

if you need to do something soon look into the Avid V4s from Yokohama

I have the sport 5000s on two cars and like them. Good tire for the money.

I guess the Yokohama V4S it is... now gotta find an installer that'll know how to put the 944 on the lift.
