Tire question/options for 870c

[Charlie don't surf]

In the pursuit to make my 870c more of a "racer" I want to swap the TF8/TR8's out to something more cutting edge for the time period, I have a set of Shumacher mini' spikes that look good, and are period correct for the rear--but have no idea what would fit with the "look" that i'm trying for
in the front.

Any ideas? Please!!

hey Reggie,

I know that there were a number of proline front tires that fit the yokomos. In addition, the schumacher tites for the car also worked. I'll check to see if I can find some pics for you.

Are you going with the mini pin look?

Regards,
Roger

Reg,
I went digigng in my tire box and found a couple of Pro-line tires for the front. Don't know if they match the rears particular but there for 2.0.

[Charlie don't surf]

Whew, the stubbies are hot! I have the other tires pictured--Al, do you know if they made a 2.0 stubbie, or would I mount/trim a set of 8086 on the rear?

[a01butal]

I don't have a matching rear and don't know if they made them, maybe highwayracer or scr8p might know. I was just looking at the 8086 and isn't it for 2.15 or something larger than 2.0?

[Charlie don't surf]

Yep, that's where I get confused I can't seem to find a matching pin/stub/mini pin in 2.0
and I've been up and down the Shuy forum and can't sind a comp front tire Al, you want to ad the 2.0 stubs to my tab?

[a01butal]

No prob, they are cheap.

i have the 7035/7060 set for my yoke. not sure of a matchin 2.0 rear for the stubbies al posted. i'll do some hunting.

Jason I just wish someone would post a nice Proline cat in the scan archives!, and Shumacher, and AE, and--well you get my drift

if you wanted to go the schumacher tire route, instead of looking for the schumachers, it might be easier finding the crp copies (2.0).

4230 - 3 row cat spike
4231 - 4 row cat spike

4237 - cat mini pin spike
4238 - cat mini pin spike

Imex does have some nice shuy clones!

hey Reggie,

I have a pair of the CRP 4237 (mini pins). I put them on a standard front 870c front wheel and the tire looks very small (very low profile).

There's a '91 in there now but that's too early, need one a couple of years maybe 3 to 4 years later. Get on that scr8p I know you're probably sitting on one.

[scr8p]

if i had one..... i'd would've posted it already.

reg, i know where to get the matching rears to the fronts that roger posted if your interested (crp).
