New owner looking for tire/wheel advice - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

TFE731 · 03-04-2020

My first post here after buying a 1991 #0685. I'm needing to replace the original tires with a set of Nitto's (as widely recommended here). The wheels are in as new condition with only 3700 miles, but the tires are badly cracked. So my concern is to preserve these wheels in as new as possible. My questions are:

1. I will be using tape weights with the new tires. How do you deal with the nicks and gouges left by the old weights?

2. My tires are badly cracked, do they have any value to keep them?

3. Should I just save the tires and wheels and install new wheels as well?

I did try to do a search but I'm not sure how to do it correctly, I'm not so tech savvy. I'm open to all opinions and will be seeking help on a few other issues.
