Pretty quiet, great grip but if there are ruts in the road it will try and pull the car all over the place...

I understand the load rating isn't high enough but like you said I don't think it matters unless your driving with a fully laden car and a trailer.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54555-19-semi-slicks-street-legal/page/3/#findComment-825136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially a 35 series, not alot of tyre wall.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54555-19-semi-slicks-street-legal/page/3/#findComment-825600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
