What tyres?

I have 6 inch wide rims on my 911e, I know the standard sized tyre should be 185/70 15 but mine currently has 205/50 15 tyres which I feel are much too low profile. Has anyone any experience of what works well?
I was thinking of using either 195 or 205 with a 60 profile.

What do you lot think?

The closest (readily-available) size to the original 185/70x15 is 195/65x15.

I just fitted some 195/65x15 and they look the part. On Pelican they seem to be going crazy of the Vredstein sprint classic because they are the original size and have a vintage tread pattern. While I am all for originality, I can't see the point when it comes to tyres!

I got 4 Barum Bravuris fitted for £144. They are made by continental and definitely cheap (still H-rated and directional) but feel good to me, much better than the old inner-tube pirellis that have been on it for years.
