Simon.Rogers1 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Kumho say Optimum is 6" but 5.5 -7 is ok. So I guess just about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david nelson Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Malcolm No, I just under performed and was 1.3sec of my PB and class record. 1st time in 2 years (in the dry) i have had a time of over 60 sec. its not a big deal lossing but the time was poor. that what makes it worse. So back on topic will 7 1/2 work? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S. Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi David, I assume It's just a temporary measure.....if not I've got some 61/2" rims and want some 71/2" we could swap Class 4 Zetec Edited by - Martin S. on 26 Aug 2008 10:12:05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Martin Just a temporary measure as my left rear has no groves left. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 David, i put 185 on a 7" rim once. Stretched it big time. Was a complete bitch to seat. Did not work. took them off. So from that expierience i would say smaller tyre on bigger rim would not go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
