Spare tire as a skinny? Well i recently took off my power sterring(trying every bit to squeez hp (dont flame!) and well i had two spares laying around from this ta and my old one...
so i decided to throw those on till i could find a good deal on some real skinnies, this is going to be a drag car, so only taking it to the track and back home...should i have any worries about running these?
i mean there just like skinnies and the rims are ment to hold the car... i couldnt see why not other than its really stupid looking lol
oh btw these 135/16s are a lot easier to turn then the stock 275's lol

Well, they are built as a 'spare' tire and have numerous warnings about using them at high speeds. Who knows, they'd probably work, but I would purchase the proper equipment if you are going to be racing. The wall is a little unforgiving most say.

u ain't gettin my *** to go 100+ on them pieces of ****. hell, i hardly trust them to get me home from a flat.
of course, the piece of **** tires some ppl run on their skinnies can't be much better. think the ones my friend uses are supposed to go on a bug or something
