I've always run Hoosier Street TD's (225/50-14) on my GTV vintage racer, but have recently considered testing with some radials. SVRA specifically bans the...
... Have seen Hankook Ventus at the track recently. DOT-R tire in both "full" tread and with the double groove. Not sure if these constitute a "cheater"...
... <snip> ... Erik, I suspect any R rated DOT radial , including all the Kumho, Toyo and Hancook R rated tires are going to be considered "cheater slicks."...
Erik In 14" you are stuck with the Toyo RA-1 (which Brian Stark runs in SVRA) or the Kumho. In 15" you can run Hoosiers Speedster vintage radial and I believe...
Problem is that Kumho has apparently discontinued 14" Victoracers as I just discovered having called Tire Rack to order a set for the Gold Cup at VIR next...
Russ, for SVRA anyway, they seem more concerned with the appearance of the tire than the R compound. Although the expressly disallow the Kumho V710 for...
Thanks Andy. I have looked at the Speedsters, but they only come in a 205/60-15 or a 225/50-15. That would add over an inch in circumference compared to my...
In Norther California we are now required to run 15 inch wheels on 67 and older Alfas, so the new tire of choice, which has been aproved by most Vintage racing...
Thanks Gary. I could run the Speedster, but I would prefer to stay with 14's. I've got 2 sets of matching wheels that I really like! After the previous posts,...
Has anyone tried the Falken Azenis RT-615? It seems like they are made in the correct sizes (60 series) and they look like tires that SVRA and others will...
Erik: Yes there are some 14 inch 40 and 55 section tires, but for us in Northern Calif and some other venues I have raced at around the country the minimum ...
Oops, I didn't realize I mistyped a 40 instead of a 50. No, 40's would be allowed around here either! Believe it or not, SVRA will allow a 45 series tire in...
The only 14" radial that is readily available is the Toyo RA-1. The Hankooks, very good in both the Z211 and Z214, particularly in the softer compound, as well...
Russ, I love ya', but for a guy as steeped in the arcane minutea of the AROC Competition Code (you did do the last revision, didn't you? <grin>) and the SCCA...
... Now there is a memory. I ran Phoenix Stahlflex tires on my family sedan 75 Alfetta. They wore pretty well on a family sedan and the Alfetta was damned...
Thanks Peter. I'm still looking for the wrench that tightens the "loose nut behind the wheel." Can you loan me yours? One small correction to your post,...
I have only used RADIAL tires, would love to use some BIAS to try them out. The VictoRacers are pretty good and surprisingly the Falken are also very nice and...
My Alfa 2-litre twinspark engine runs the Kent Sports-R cams, installed by a previous owner. The car is very 'cammy', with very poor low speed performance and...

Hey Group, Does anyone have any info on a very high flowing 3.0 V6 head? Right now my 3.0 V6 only has a stock head (almost no porting and radius cut valve...
Richard, The hood is very good looking...I've never liked the "already crashed" lines of the Milano, either! Mike made it so the weave shows through very...
