Original tyre width for 2.0L 4 bolt Fuch's...

The reason I ask is I have an original set and plan when change needed to fit original width tyres so there is more handling than grip (with 80hp only) I do not want it to be over tyred...

914 as a daily driver?

Does anyone on here use their 914 as a daily driver?

Just wondering how reliable they are...

My Girlfriend used her 68 beetle everyday until it was crashed into...

And my other question how good are 914's in accidents? I assume better than a beetle due to headrests etc...
