16" Front Runners

[2rismo]

Perfect for the racer who wants to run slicks but cant fit a 15" rim over their brakes - Crossply tyres for Skylines! Who'dathunkit?!?!

Firestone brand, 25.75" tall, 4.75" wide at widest point. $195 each.

(Figured they'd be better off put in here instead of For Sale Section)

Bias ply?

Edited to include most important detail - thx Kenny

[MrBlonde]

These are f**king hard to find. Well done Adrian!

[2rismo]

I do what I can

Speed and load rating?

[1JZ.747]

i was going to go to front runners for weight and better rolling than wide radials, but ANDRA said cant run ply fronts with radial backs have to run cheese cutter radials up front with radial rears.

any way,i have put the idea on the back burner for a while.

[DoughBoy]

A local shop refused to sell the Nankang front runners due to the ~100km/h (?) speed rating on them, alot of those antique car tyres aren't rated to much - hence my questions.

[2rismo]

LOL @ Nankangs - Soooooo many of the cars at WSID run them!

Have emailed the supplier about load/speed ratings - Doubt it will be an issue if it isn't a prob for an all-steel blown bbc '34 5-window running 9.0's.

660lb @ 30psi.

660lb @ 30psi.

so for my big heavy bitch at 3440 pounds that 860 pounds per corner they would not support my lard arse.

[2rismo]

Probably not, 'Shane the Pilsbury Dough-Boy' - But they might.

[2rismo]

In a slightly wider tyre with a higher load rating we have;

Excelsior 500/525/16 - 826lb

The two tyres next to each other.

Front - Firestone - 450/475/16

Back - Excelsior - 500/525/16

Dude if that's heavy, what do you call the mighty GTR? Aren't a few quick ones above 3500lbs?

[2rismo]

Yeah but they're 4WD cheaterers, Chris. They don't count!

dont think to many gtr will be using front runners some how.

i call a GTR a GTR

3500 pounds, maybe theos but i dont think marks or pauls are that heavy. as for kier's GTR i havent really been that close to see the extent of his weight reduction, i would say kier would have done a fair bit of weight reduction but his sons "street GTR" is full weight i believe.

in street trim add another 180 kilos of trim and bits and pieces to my lard arse.
