I see the BMW Z4 is available. What Paul Gage tires fit this car? Would like to get tires for it if I don't have the correct size.

If you buy it from LEB Hobbies their list of PG tires indicates that the proper tire is PGT-21126XD. Have a nice day.

The closest to stock is the 20125LMXD at 21.8mm mounted. (Not sure what the stock tire's diameter is specifically) BTW the Z4 uses the same size wheel as the DTM cars. The 21126XD is 22.8mm mounted and..... I better go make some more then!

Got to run this car on wood for the first time last night. XPG's, super glued play out of bushings, and the car is simply a dream to run. It was turning laps consistently at 7.9 sec., as quick as the quickest scalextric GT's. And it's GORGEOUS! Another nice job by Carrera!!

After Bibbster was kind enough to put PG tires on my Z4 it ran quite respectably in the Abecedarian Proxy. Indeed, a good little car.
