I bought some 13x7 tyres to go on my superlites that ive just had powdercoated and the garage couldnt fit them. Hes already ripped two of my new bridgestone potenzas trying to fit them, and i couldnt afford any more new ones so I had to get some 2nd hand pirrellis. They look like they have been hardly used at all, but he couldnt get them on.

If the tyres are old I would think twice about using them, but I would not expect too much of a problem getting them on. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Depends what wheels they are. Some of the cheap poxy alloys have the rim well in the centre of the wheel, which makes tyre fitting difficult to say the least. Proper wheels will have the rim well offset which makes it much easier. For instance the new Minispares Minilite cheapo replicas... A friend of mine managed to destroy TWO tyres, and they KNOW what they are doing. Rubbish design. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
