What tire size would fit the 16x4 wheel to use as front runners?

I thought you just use a couple of spares for the front? don't they have sizes on them?

They are T125/70D16. You might run 'em down the track, but I'm not goin' to. :p

although you're talking to a guy that drove on Nitto DR's through winter :rolleyes: Maybe I should try them :D

Will a track let you run a temp? Sounds a little crazy.

How 'bout these?

All the skinnies are for mostly 15s, and oddly 17 & 18s. That would work perhaps, is it speed rated? As long as it doesn't look like a temp I doubt you'd get a second look. Does that need a tube?


You got a set of aluminum SC space saver spare wheels don't ya.

Edit: says tubeless, and 54psi...perfect.

I'd have to contact them for more details, but I'm thinking as a 'taxi' tire, it's pretty tough and the load rating is good for a tire that size.

Sounds a hell of a lot safer than the temp spares. I'd need ice skates in hell before I tried that one and I've drivin on one at 85 on the freeway. I felt like impending doom was upon me.

I picked these up from www.rogerkrausracing.com

They are vintage Dunlop Racing 550-16 tires. They have a diameter if 27.1 inches and a tread width of 4.2 inches. I weighed them at 16 pounds each. They are a Dunlop "204" compound which is very hard and should result in minimum rolling resistance.

Looks good to me!

Mmmmmmmmmmm Crossssss-pliiiiesssss ......

I think I'll go and lie down now.
