You wouldn't tell a member to turbo the car and run 20psi with stock injectors and he doesn't need a tune would you? You wouldn't start telling people the torque spec of the lugs is 5ft/lbs would you? I don't care how it looks (looks retarded always), you need to give warning that's it's not recommended and possibly unsafe. There are a ton of newbs here who buy into **** that don't understand jack. Like I said, do it right or not at all. That's how I feel, live with it.
[Said in the voice of the most interesting man in the world:]

I don't always agree with SynoLimit, but when I do, it's on issues of safety.

Running your tires this way delves a wee too bit much into ricer turf for me.

Besides, why waste your money on a tire you will never use 20% of. This tire is designed to operate at 165-200 degrees on a race track. For one, it's a complete waste of money.

Secondly, R-888's are not even really safe for street driving especially once it drops below 50 degrees. They are a frigging r-compound race tire that is legal to drive on the street to a track simply because it has some grooves to vent water.

I understand style and taste differences, people hate my plasti dipped hood-bra. But it is functional and I like the way it looks personally. I won't comment on the super stretched look but I don't personally like. The difference though is that your tire can explode and kill you. My plastidip-bra is just going to piss off my friend martin82 at the race track.

There are other good looking tires that fit whomever's wheel correctly. Buy those ones instead.
