Front tires?
« on: February 15, 2013, 05:00:46 PM »
I use the standard 22.5x17 tire on the front I see Goodyear also offers a 4in.does anybody else have something like that? Not really loyal to any brand would like a reasonably priced tire though!

   Thanks
    Randy!

I use the modern T/F tire...Got them from one of the teams. They change them after 3-4 laps and they still had the flash around the tire when i got them. My car is not fast enough to know it but the fast cars are more stable with them. me...I just like the look.

Jon Hansen is the BEST.  Great supply of wheels and tires, and excellent tech support when needed. 

RUN VALVE CAPS on the front tires. 100% of the time!!!!!!!!! (trust me on this one)

John Hanson is the man to call when you need front wheels/tires. He just built a set of 18" black spokes for me and they look amazing.
