Midget Tires

Share this page

Camber built in, it is non adjustable by normal means.
 
I saw an ad for Firestone 155/80 x 13s for $19.75 each.
I just bought 4 of them $79 /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Now my 71 Midget has new sneakers for very little money.

I have found these same tires to be quite satisfactory for normal cruising and the plus is that during the "annual sales" all the tire shops have (usually around Memorial Day) these are the tires they advertise "for as low as $9.99"!! That works out to about $100 total (including the spare, mounting, balancing and new valve stems). At that price you can put a new set on per year!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
 
Yes. I know it is built in, and it was fine before I replaced the upper bushings last year. After I just did the uppers, I ended up with tires that were half good, half bad in a matter of a couple months. I'm just wanting to see if I've done enough correction by doing the lowers to set things back before I ruin new tires or if I need to do something else before that happens.

Do y'all think that there's anything else I can do to set things right that I'm not thinking of?
