Los Angeles Region SAAC / Trancas is now Paradise Cove
May 07, 2018, 02:09:19 PM
hi all,
yesterday was the first Cars & Coffee at Paradise Cove (a little north of Trancas). maybe 40-50 cars, although cars were still arriving at 9am, as i was leaving . . . parking is $8 with validation from the restaurant . . . smaller than Trancas (there weren't 500 new Porsches), but the quality of cars was excellent. indeed, i don't remember seeing any "modern" cars at all, except a Ford GT . . . i expect this to grow.
first Sunday of the month. next event is June 3.

Up For Auction / Michelin XWX 215/70VR14's for '66 Shelbys
May 02, 2018, 11:06:30 PM
not mine, but too good a deal to pass up, if you're looking for great tires to put on your 14" 10-spoke wheels.
i'm running these on 6S929, and they fill the wheel wells beautifully.

Nice, but they don't have them in 14
they have them in both 205/70VR14 and 215/70VR14. in fact, there's a set of five (5) NOS 215/70VR14's on eBay right now asking $1200 but open to offers.

i'd love to post a picture of the XWX on a ten-spoke wheel, but the website isn't letting me do so.
can someone help? the size is 348X520, which seems pretty small.

IMHO, the best 14" tire available and suitable for the '66 Shelby (street driving) is the Michelin XWX 215/70VR15. Pricey, yes, but a small percentage of the total value of these cars. They fill up the wheel wells beautifually . . . Luckily, I found a set of five (5) barely used XWX's on eBay.
