Paul Gage tires for the new Carrera Porsche 904

[Modlerbob]

I just ordered the 904 from LEB hobbies and they now sell Paul Gage tires but I didn't see any listed for the 904. Hey Paul do you make them and what stock number are they if you do?

Thanks Harry, LEB I guess hasn't updated their PG tire list to include a reference to the 904 and I forgot to check in ebay.

I got the specified tires but they are a bit fat to fit in the 904 wheel wells. I ended up using an x-acto knife with a #11 blade to slice off some of the inside face of the tires. I sure wish that Carrera had cheated a bit on the width of this car. Even with the magnet it wants to tip over in the corners.

I used sandpaper or Emory board and just cleaned up that area. But that is using the Razor.

But, sounds like you go it.

It's a car that needs a little taming no doubt. I am finding the old NINCO & MOnogram 550's and recent Healys a good match.
