I have recently bought an old 914 race car with a six in it. The car currently has some really! old goodyear slicks on it, they are 23x9.0x15 fronts, and 23x10.50x15 rears, they are on multi piece bbs wheels. Im working on gettting the car "race ready" and was wondering what are some good options for tires, and who to buy them from, This will be my first full slick car. Any advice would be great.

The 23x9.0x15 is still available from GoodYear. Those are great tires. For roadracing, i'd go with the R430 or R475 compound, for AX go with the R250 compound. The 10.5 are not available in 15 anymore ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy http://www.racegoodyear.com/tires/pdf/sports_car_spec.pdf |
