what happens when you get a nasty blowout? would you be riding on rims? I have toyos and I don't think they're run-flats.

 

Wheels can survive a 60 MPH tire failure. Pull to the side of the roadway and the wheel should be fine. Just don't expect to drive home.

BTW the latest trend is putting the wrong size tires on the wrong wheels. I think that members call it the stretched look. It might look cool but do not expect the tire to stay on the wheel.

 

yeah but what happens when you get a blowout on the freeway.. don't want to be riding on my volks.

 

happened to me on Ventura@40mph ... just pull over ... I managed to go (edit-crawl) the extra .5miles home on a flat and my C4s were unscathed.

 

I had a nasty blowout from the inside of the tire. It was dumb of me to try to get home but I was one town away from my home on the highway so I "TRIED"...the car just kept getting worse and worse..it started shaking so I just pulled over AT my home exit (I live about 1/10 mile from the exit). The rim was fine but the tire (toyo t1-r) was totally torn up. Had to get the spare on and wait for the after the weekend to get a new tire because no place had those sizes in stock.

 

you should be fine just depend on how fast you where going..

 

I had a blow out at about 70mph in my old ITR that had 15" te37's on it, the wheel came away ok

 

Just pull over as fast as u can. Not a big deal unless you are going REALLY fast

 

it happens, just pray that your forged barrels will stand up to ~1/4 the weight of the car without bending...

you should be able to control the car unless you're going crazy fast as mentioned.

 

i had a blow out at about 85mph on the CA-14N pulled over right away and the tire was completely shredded rim was perfectly fine.
