All of you. . . .. would you read the god **** thread before you open your mouths and start stateing your opinion? Its been explained the tires were less than 2 years old. The funny thing is two of the three people who I quoted proved me right. . .. i thought you were stupid ignorant people and. . . . you proved me right. Thanks!

God if I could smack one person on here it would be your ignorant pathetic ***! I even stated if it wasn't a 28 year old tire and was a newer one back there to forget the x2 about the old tire. Reading pwns your dumbass!

good somebody can read

Gonna have to throw up an x2 here only because they way you explained it you said it was the package deal from 1979. So if it was a newer tire back there, I take back the x2, lol!
Also I didnt think your car could even go that fast.

Glad to hear you are ok though.

i've been getting a lot of things tuned up and i'm seeing an increase in power. a month ago i couldn't go faster than 65, but i had my mechanic check adjust the timing on the valves, and check the seals on the injectors and it's running amazing now. now it's time to start doing stuff to it i have a whole list of stuff i'm going to do.

oil cooler, .009 distributor, better exhaust, new clutch, better ignition, dual webers will be ordered in the next few months...

Stop! Stop right there! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

You're right - someone is a moron. A moron for not reading the actual thread.

It has been discussed ad nauseum at this stage since neither this:

driving 80 mph on a spare 28 yr old

or this:

donut tire...

was the case!

It was a less than two year-old correct OEM-size tire for this particular vehicle. A smallish tire by most current standards, to be sure, but not a temp spare at all and certainly not close to three decades old.

Moron indeed....

i did read the thread, im suprised he was able to keep the car straight doing 80 on that tire let alone after it blew

^^^^ X2

Glad you made it thru ok

Could easily have ended badly, and not just for you but someone else on that road if you had hit them and taken them out too

i mean a little donut tire that's that old, how could you keep that thing straight on the freeway

You read the thread and still called him a moron for doing something he wasn't doing?

MMkay.

If a car was built to operate with a certain set of standard equipment (including the OEM-size wheels and tires) then by all means, have at it!

I had an '87 Nissan Sentra coupe in high school.

Horrid little car with some rather narrow 13" tires from the factory.

I regularly ran that at 70, 80, or more.

A good idea?

Perhaps not but I did it with no adverse results.

A friend of my dad's has one of the old-school Coper Minis.

Not the current one that is a BMW subsidiary product but back from when Cooper was its own entity.

He regularly runs that little SOB balls to the wall and I think it has like 10" or 12" tires stock? (inside diameter, not width...)

DUDE!!! You just keep 'em coming, don't you??

You've just proven you didn't read the thread, fella.

READING entails more than simply scanning the pretty pictures //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

It has already been discussed then I told you directly

The tire that blew was neither a temp "donut" spare nor was it very old.

/story

Again - moron indeed...

I try to give the benefit of the doubt sometimes but some of you are absolute morons.

Glad you're OK yne.

I had a blow out @ 70 with a 20" wheel. Side wall basically exploded. It wasn't that bad, didn't even scratch the wheel. wheel just rolled on the tread of the tire till I got to a stop.

glad you are ok man.

x2 on the 50-55 part.
Spares are supposed to be very inflated and are often undersized. You should have not driven in the 1st place.

Baby kittens died because of you.

Jackass.

Those are called donut(sp?) tires..... Spares are regular rims with regular tires that most trucks or SUV's have.

Edit: Someone beat me to it a little while ago
