I really like the way the Carrera McLaren, Porsche and Lola run but I have had a problem with them that needs a cure. I searched on here and couldn't find an answer.
The front tires on the Mclarens, Lola, and the Porsche 917 have turned into complete jelly. They melted down onto the bookcase that they were in and made quite a chore to clean up. It's now cleaned up but I need tires.
I have looked a number of places and can't find anybody who carries the fronts. I know I am just being blind and one of you guys will point me in the right direction. :D
Thank you,
Ventura Alfa

It's also worth emailing Paul Gage and give him wheel dimensions. He is likely to have something that would work for you.

I used the PGT-20116 on both front ends. They may need a little trimming to clear the chassis. A small pair of curved eyebrow scissors and cut along the inside edge of the wheel. Unfortunately, the independant front stub axles make putting the whole axle on a Tire Razor impossible.
Hope this helps...P

Paul, do you have a less grippy compound for the front tires?

Paul,
As always, your are the man :clap: . I will be ordering 7 sets from you today. I've been dealing with you since way before you became so well known and your tires and help have always been the best. Keep up the good work.
When you see 7 sets ordered later today you'll know it's me.
