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.

Go here https://www.hoosiertire.com/rrtire.htm & click on "specs". Several sizes are available in 15 inch, both radial, bias, and compounds.....to include R spec tires....both AX & track.
IMO, using slicks or R specs for track days is a waste of time & money unless you can't find anything else in the needed sizes. |
