DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

For the W speed rating there is only the Pirelli P6000.

The weight of the '74 Carrera is the same as the '73 RS Touring.....1075 kg.

I suppose what we are all saying is there doesn't seem to be anything EXACTLY correct.

Agreed, but different speed ratings on the Avons may nullify your insurance as Nick stated.

I think Porsche approved Pirelli P6000 tyres with "N1" marking on the sidewall are also another good option: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m53b0s5026p70185/PIRELLI_TYRES_CAR_PIRELLI_P6000_PIRELLI_P_6000_-_195_65R15_91W_%28N1%29_TL_PORSCHE http://www.camskill.co.uk/m53b0s5027p70187/PIRELLI_TYR...

Those Avons are HR fronts, and VR rears.

Excellent sleuthing chaps !
Interesting that Paddy McNally chose an E over an S, and then had it converted to RHD when he was living in Geneva.
Come restoration time are you going to leave it RHD?
