OOOH No My Tire Went Bang on the "Q"

[VFSV6FORME]

Got the 4 tyres today, I will take a picture of the Old Good year 275/60R15. Yes they are FAT

These Nankang are made in China and they are tubeless. Very hard to find this out not unless you ring them. Also they are marked on the tyre itself but on the internet was hard to confirm this
If all goes well I will get the Fronts fitted tomorrow. I dont want to balance them and considering I;m not got to faster then 5 KPH up the Driveway and I hate weighs on the Alloy rim itself especially on the outside. I finished all my work 10 minutes before the Tyre arrive but as you expect sh.it happens when the feed come on for WORLD Feed for the F1's and I expect to have issues.

Are the 275 on the rear rims yet?
If so, how do they look? Thats a lot tyre for a 7" rim.

The New Nankang 275 and the old Goodyear 275 are the same measurements as you expect and like you say they are a lot of tyre for a 7 inch but considering the profile is 60 you can't see not much bulge on them. I say if you have 275/35 on a 7 inch rim you will see that defiantly have a issue
Now the big question is how much will the tyre mob charge me to remove and fit the new tyre, keep the old 2 tryre's and not balancing them. I say anywhere from $50 to $70 per tyre. I will do the Front First then the rear on two trips. Also I might keep the old rears

I usually pay around $25 per tyre to strip and fit. Another $10 per tyre for disposal.

Also I might keep the old rears

In Geelong the tyre store would charge me $15.00 per tyre to recycle (get rid of).

Next time l'll keep them, & cut them up with the 9" angle grinder at home.

You can still get them balanced...Ask for stick on weights on the inside of the rim. Make sure you are there if a young one is doing the job to make sure they do use stick on weights on the inside....

These days, it is unusual to have a tubed tyre...Tubeless is the norm....
