you should even watch out with the sportsmans. after about a 40 mile trip on the highway they get pretty darn warm. and i Had one split right between the tread and sidewall once. Luckily the sidewall held up decently enough i didnt have problems getting her stopped. It can be done but like others have said, remember at all times that they are on there and avoid extended high speed runs.

i been running sportsman skinnies on the street for the past year with no problem.......handles like a dump truck but other than that its fine........like crazz28 said above i'd be careful with a stock weight car on long hi-speed runs.......i've never had an issue with mine though....
