A Milano owner wrote a brief review on tirerack.com about the Kumho V710. I think I know who the person is, given the location stated in the review. If you are...
fyi, I'm not sure for 100%, but I've understood that the suspension kit Ron is offering also uses dampers from Intrax as basis. (Maybe someone can confirm this...
So, in that context : what is out there re Vintage race tires? I run 14" wheels on my Duetto and have in the past run Hoosier "street tires" on them. That...

David, if you are referring to Hoosier Street TD's, I'm not aware of any changes in their availability. I bought some in September and the Hoosier web site...
Thank you for that, Eric. I will further pursue the subject. Now, how about a recommendation for 14" slicks such that I can use them when running E...

Zamani, What can you share on the Kuhmo Victoracers? I need to get a new set of tires and can not use Hoosier not the new Kuhmo 710 (this was what I wanted). I...
Hi Elisio, The Victoracers are grippy and last quite a while. It has lasted me about 4 events (2 day weekend, about 4 X 20min session per day). The ECSTA has a...
Apparently this information never got diseminated to the various Alfa Groups. It is a bit stale. I have written some people in Saint Louis to try and get...
Russ, I sent Carter an email the other day and got this reply. Hi-- The shop [and myself] are mostly ok and I'm grateful for the thoughts and offers. I'm at...
Has anyone sourced dbl adj shocks for either a 67 105 GTV or 64 101 Spider? If so, where these off the shelf or custom ie Koni's? Know I need spring rates and...
More of a theoretical question here. If one is allowed to run a 14" wheel/tire combo as well as a 15" combo, which would you choose, and why? I can see pros...
The 14" wheel would also lower the entire car by half an inch. I have always assumed that the 14" wheel would have less momentum for the brakes to deal with....
I believe Max Banks at Alfaholics can help with this question. Gary Williams ... From: alfaracing@yahoogroups.com [mailto:alfaracing@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf...
... wheel/tire combo as well as a 15" combo, which would you choose, and why? if they are the same width i don't see much difference in weight providing the...
... Trick question? I'm not sure there is any 'right' answer for this one, it's going to differ based on car, suspension, track, gearing, etc etc. In general,...
... The 2005 SCCA GCR says that the EP and FP Alfas may run a maximum of a 7 x 15 rim. The rules for the Production Category say any rim may be used provided ...
Russ, GTA's didn't come with 13 inch wheels. That was the GTAm. Since I have one set of 15x7 and one set of 14x7 wheels, I have run both 14's and 15's at the...
Hi Russ and all, Thanks for the discussion so far. Umm, this question is not pertaining to my GTA, but rather a 1989 BMW 325i that I'm going to run in 2006 in...
Steve, I forgot about your off brand racing plans. Do you have to run a specific rear axle ratio? Can you lower the car enough to compensate for the taller ...
... Given the same sidewall height, I'd go with the 14". You'll get better acceleration, I'll bet it more than makes up for any shifting point 'problems' you...
Have you looked into the Avon tech R series of tires? They work great on my Alfetta and seem to wear well also. I had troubles with the Kuhmos not wearing well...
Can't get any slicks for 14" wheels, and spindle clearance is an issue with 13" wheels. ... From: Russell Neely To: alfaracing@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
Wheel diameter in F1 is a regulation. Possibly the most asked question on Speed Channel. My understanding of Touring Car is that the wheels they use are so...
Hi all.. Must it have same size at all 4 corners? Could give opportunitys of fine tuning of over/understeer etc if buying both 14" and 15" wheels/tires.. Claus...
Thanks to everyone for the messages of encouragement. There was a serious fire at my shop on December 20. I am doing very well. Skin grafts are interesting...
