BillBoards and MY TEST DRIVE!!! Way different!

[gsharapa]

I have about 900 miles on my BB and love them. Love the look and when they heat up they bite good. When my car is sitting for 3 or 4 weeks I do rotate them a bit to eliminate the flat spotting but even if they do flat spot a bit a mile down the road they are fine. Mine came from Roger Kraus also. Pics in my gallery but just made my wheels look vintage last weekend and love the new look with the BB..

While they do look cool IMO (as well as the rest of gsharapa's car ) I'd say they are not mags. The casting looks too crisp and the valve is not on the rim.

But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if some mags had the valves in the spokes

Do tell, gsharapa!

I recently fitted BB tyres to mine.
I find mine do Hunt a bit, but I suspect I need to change alignment settings.
Would love to hear what figures others are running?

Alignment won't cancel the tendency to hunt. Been there.

These tires are thin wall, which exacerbates the squirrely tracking at lower tire pressure. Raising tire pressure is a compensatory measure.

How many years before the sidewalls crack? Are they date stamped?



Vatdevil,
My tires are almost a year old. The first very faint indication of cracking is already visible.

I haven't found any date coding on the tire.
