Tires!!

[roketman]

I did the same! I go back and forth between the BBS and spinner’s
I Agree on Radial tire! The best!

Dang, Ron! First time I've seen your FGT! Looks bad to the bone .. wheels and removed side stripes

Come to the rallies! Love the no side stripe!
I originally did a trial run on a black 1:12 scale motormax model. Did one side with no side stripe and left the other side with. Put it on my Bedroom bureau and took turns looking at each side a week at a time! Camilo disagrees on the no side stripe! FYI.
Love look of the BBS wheels too! I Also take turns with the wheels You know which side one! Still have the model but never look at the side stripe side!

The spinner wheel looks best to me,
but I still like the BBS also.
Has that 1960's look but an updated enough design to be perfect for the 05/06.
Ron your Midnight Blue looks bitchin!
Here is what I did with a set I got from Marv.

Ordered today late 21 date codes

The rear tires are pretty much sold out and being discontinued by Bridgestone. No idea if they will continue in the future but if you need tires and find any available should probably grab them now.

where’d you find rears? I have an order with Tire Rack on backorder. Simple Tire, Amazon are both out of stock.

 

[GKW05GT]

From Bill that Ron mentioned at top of page. He is also now sold out but is trying to get more but think chances are slim. I believe only out GTs and the Enzo are only using this tire. Small market so little incentive to produce.

Damn, what options will we have?

[Vincent998]

If nobody steps up to produce those, and/or if Bridgestone doesn't continue them, seems like the only option will be new wheels that fit a more common tire. Either that or our GTs will be unusable. ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hoosier?

Hoosier?

Good track tire but not a good tire for the street and all of the different debris that may be encountered.

Maybe better than no tires? or very old tires?

You would not want to get caught in a Florida rain storm.

Ugh, I so dislike the big diameter wheel and rubber band profile tires.

[Shark01]

Any word on fronts?

 

[fjpikul]

Fronts not a problem because they are for Porsche. Going to bigger wheels may cause a problem with your ABS. Be careful with this.

 

[Shark01]

Oops, repost

 

[GKW05GT]

They will work but show back ordered. Probably never to get filled
