Theo,
The tires held together on a few 140+ Mph runs.
I may have to go to larger dia wheels to get the width I need.
Problem is, I like the effective rear end ratio with the 235-50-13.
Would have to go to 35 or so series tires to keep the height down.
These very low profile tires are very $$ and have a very rough ride.
It got cold here too for the last two days, low of 40. Thank god that
the temperature is susposed to be back to 70 tomorrow. This is the best
time to work on my Tiger in Florida. The summer (10 months) is too
hot.
