How do you get the 205s to fit the car?? I've had difficulty with even
195s. It doesn't look possible to get 205s in there. Early 911s and 914s,
yeah, all day every day no problem. But 356s??

Great news. I'll pass that on to my 911 friends.

Still doesn't help those of us looking for 70 series radial tires. The
A008Rs in 185/70-15 -- which used to be widely available, for about
$120 a tire, and would typically last all season -- would be perfect.
