WANTED White wall tyre inserts

Iv had tyres blow out on my golf at 120 so one at 70 would be fine

 

I've had them and have parts of them left, and wouldn't have them again!

But as has been said each to their own.

I've ignore some of the best advice

 

I ran inserts on wide five steels with no problems apart from kerb damage. They're fiddly to get seated properly.....took a few attempts and they do work loose if they're not fitted right but once properly in place they stay put......trick is to inflate the tyre very slowly and push them into the bead as you do they do wear the sidewall a bit, but not too drastic, and Mr Whitewalls buffs the sidewall to remove the raised tyre lettering and info to a greater degree than the wear the inserts cause anyway .....look at the process on their website and you'll see what I mean. Inserts are good for the money....just take a bit of upkeep that's all

 

I'm getting quite amazed nowadays
How people are quite happy to put theirs and other people's life at risk
Just to get a certain look

 

Honestly I'm speaking from experience iv used many sets and tyres go like chewing gum and run really hot just google some reviews and it will shock u !!

 

I ran mine for 2 years on a mk1 caddy pickup with a tdi transplant that had a good bit more under the loud pedal than the average bay.....apart from some scuffing of the sidewalls they were fine. Same wheels with the same inserts will be going on my bus shortly. @paradox surely ropey d.i.y. Chassis welding repairs etc are far more dangerous, and nobody seems to lose sleep about that here lol

 

Im talking along the lines of aftermarket beams that are not fit for purpose and snap
Lowering adjusters where the bolt snaps dropping the front of the bus down in an instant
Lowering a bus then bending the steering arms whilst driving as they hit the chassis
Notching a chassis rail so much that the chassis could fold

Ive seen those whitewall inserts rip the side wall of a tyre to sheds in a few hundred miles
Ive nothing against altering a vehicle to make it look different as long as it doesent compramise on safety

If i were to want whitewall tyres id either go the Mr whitewalls route or buy the white wall flaps that are attached to a set of beauty rings

 

They are very hard to find with a commercial rating

 

You really don't need to fit commercial tyres, commercial tyres are all About weight bearing, what do you think is heavier two adults in the front of a T2 camper or 2 adults and half a ton of engine in a Skoda (other makes are available), tyres have come a long way in the last 40 years

I think a lot of insurance company's would frown at dropped spindles narrowed beams, adjustable spring plates, wheel spacers, and upgraded engines
