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.

Buying wide wheels make tires seem inexpensive. The relatively inexpensive ones are heavy as hell and most need spacers to fit a 914.
If your car is set up as a race car, you'll find that driving it on the street will be a short term affair.....that said, I have no idea just what you're dealing with....some pic/specs would seem in order. The market for your 15 inch wheels is pretty good. I, for one, might be interested in them if you decide to go with something different. |
