Erik,
The ONLY tire I would think of using with wire wheels, and ONLY the 72 spok=
e Daytons with the heavy spokes, would be the old style, skinny vintage Dun=
lop bias plys. Modern, uber sticky radia race rubber like the Hoosier Spee=
dsters is a recipe for trouble. None of the front running TRs that I know =
of are running wire wheels. There are very good reasons for this.
Just my humble opinion after 20 years of taking care of Jeff=92s TR3=85

Subject: [Fot] TR-3 race tires and wheels
Triumph racers,
Karen and I are looking to get our TR-3 together so I can race it in the Ka=
stner Cup next year at RA (she'll race her TR-6), and I am looking for some=
insight on wire wheel sizes people are using. I will be running wires like=
ly with Hoosier Speedsters, and am curious what others are using. 72 spoke,=
or 60? 15 x 5" or 15 x 6"?
Thanks much!
Jake Jacobsen
