aiboart Member 665 Member For: 20y 5m Posted 24/10/10 03:45 AM Share Posted 24/10/10 03:45 AM (edited) Jamming something onto the sidewall and into the bead area on the tyres of a modern hi performance passenger vehicle gives me cause to pause and ask questions.Personally, I would like confirmation that such systems have been tested in an appropriate manner, ideally by the tyre manufactures and the tyre retailer chains, before fitting such a system to a family vehicle.Regards,aa Edited 24/10/10 03:47 AM by aiboart Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48416-rims-what-have-you-got/page/19/#findComment-1050072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
