tires for Vintage class

Post by Sue Salsburg »

Gracie the Jaguar is alive & well on her way back to racing. I guess she fits in Vintage 2. Help me Richie? What are the tire choices? Wheel sizes? Any one running Vintage 2 who could offer suggestions? Thanks, Sue

Any DOT or Vintage tire is good, just NO SLICKS.

Only 1 car ran in Vintage 2 last year and it was an Allard.

Susie:

One question: Open Exhaust or do you have to street it?

I ran the Kellison in V2 at Weatherly last season. Rear tires were BF Goodrich street radials while fronts were 5.50 x 15 Dunlop L bias plies. Both are DOT tires -- and my normal street tires used for cruising.

While perhaps not the fastest combination they give the car the best feel, balance and drivability.
