xyber 1 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 They will need over inflating to keep them as stiff and tight as possible and keep the bead forced outwards and seated properly against the rim, to what pressure though I dont know?I like the look but would drive around scared I think Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 When I ran stretched tyres on my schmits it totally distroyed the handling of the car, promptly sold them on as I couldnt see the point in having all that power and not be able to enjoy driving it. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 you have to make comprimises then i suspect mate if you like the look. I liked the look of mine, but given what ive spent on performance, it didnt make economical sense to keep them Link to post Share on other sites
