205/50/15.
I just put the tires on my stock steel wheels on the car and ran it very hard out in the back roads today. Really nice upgrade. The turns that usually howl and squeal are now quiet and tight. Used to run Yokohama YK 420's. The steering is especially responsive, too. For $87 each, mounted, out the door I'm happy and ready to get nuts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I'm currently running at 35 psi. I wonder how 32 would feel? Someday... I'll put the tires on a lighter wheel. |

QUOTE(trekkor @ May 30 2004, 08:00 PM) Finally they had to put one of 'em in " THE CAGE". A metal enclosure wher they attach a remote air hose on the tire and then over inflate the tire until the bead seats...PAPPP! The cage is supposed to prevent death when the tire accidentally explodes from massive over inflation. "Do not try this at home, we're professionals". Growing up one of my friend's family owned a tire shop. When they couldn't get a bead to seat they'd spray an ample amount of starting fluid (ether) into the tire and around the bead. Then they'd stand back and throw a match at it. BOOM! ...And, 'Ta-Da' , bead seated. Worked every time. (Don't try at home) -Ben M. |
