New Prosport Owner in NY
Hi Guys,
So I bought Charley Sunoco Blue and Yellow Prosport from him about a month ago. Super excited to get her out on the track this year. I have a question regarding what tires do you guys suggest? Not looking to to spend a ton of money. I will post in another section too.
Hi Michael! I am glad to see you are on the Forum now. I am looking forward to seeing your progress with your Prosport. It is a beautiful car. Hopefully Neil @neilca, or one of the other Prosport owners can give you some good information on tire selection.

I buy used tires from John Berget https://www.jbracingtires.net/
I will have to check my sizes, I think they are 7x20.5 front and 9x20 rear. I tried 10x22's on the rear but they hit my side pods and tail during a session.
I run the R25 compound even in the summer in Atlanta, but I am slow and don't overheat them.
Welcome!! What are your plans for the car and events???
thank you i will take a look at there site and contact them. maybe i can buy some extra spare tires from them
Still trying to figure that out. Im thinking some SCCA events.
I am a former New Yorker (two years ago) and used to run SCCA events in the Northeast (not a Radical). Great tracks to race in that area!
I also get my tires from John Berget - Hoosiers 20 x 7.5 x 13 fronts and 22.5 x 10 x 13 rears - typically around $300 / set. Between R25 and R35 (in Michigan), I like the former better, although the latter last a little bit longer.
