Default skinnies on the Camaro...
Has anyone ever used two spare tires on the front of their Camaro or T/A as skinnies and went to the track. Would this be safe?

No, that would be very unsafe and result in Epic Fail.

The Track Officials wouldn't let you run anyways, you won't pass tech.

I think it says somewhere on the spare that you shouldn't go above 50 mph. So unless your running down the track in a civic....

The spare tire has very low speed ratting.Would not be safe.
