Runflats

Batmobile · 01-17-2007, 07:50 AM

Hi there,

I got some 162's of this dude on the forum, and got them shipped to me. When the wheels arrived they had no air, and two of the tires were not completely round. Like the sidewall is intact, but when you roll the tire it does not roll.

You guys think it will correct once I put air in the tire, or are the tires broken?

Not sure, only one way to find out though!

I think once they are pressurized and balanced, you'll be fine.

it's -30 degrees here, and I am working alot, I will inflate them this week end... I just hope they are not ruined!

Wow at those temperatures those runflats will have really hard sidewalls. Some of the guys in the north of uk are complaining that the ride and handling are much worse because of the sidewalls getting even harder and that is at -5.

haha, well I am not driving with them, I got other wheels with winter tires on them. The bridgstone potenzas are not drivable in cold weather, you get no traction at all.
