PGT-FrontsGT40 - Front Urethane Tires for the Ford GT40
PLEASE NOTE: These tuning tires will look much smaller than the Carrera stock tires you are replacing (in some cases you may even be able to fit the tuning tire, inside the stock tire). Some tuning tires may fit multiple wheels, these tires are made to stretch so Paul does not need to have a separate tire available for each type of car.
When installing you will need to stretch the tuning tire over the wheel.. To avoid damage to the car, or wheel, we have found it is easiest to take the chassis off by removing the 4 bottom screws prior to installation.
Once installed all you need to do
is sand the tire lightly to true it up and remove any convex or concave
centers, and away you go. This can be done easily using a 120 grit
garnet sand paper or emery board, then finish with a 240 or 480 grit. A
recommendation from Paul Gage: If you wish to glue on the rear tires,
use a clear nail polish. Just clean the tire with acetone, lightly sand
the bead on the hub, paint a generous layer on the inside bead of the
hub, paint the outside bead of the tire, then mount the tire. Allow one
hour to dry, sand them true, and away you go!
