Title: firestone 135's on brm's Post by: beetletom on June 24, 2010, 17:08:07 pm any pics??
as my puma beam only goes so low, and my current steels and 135 smart car tyres, leaves quite a big gap! i think the firestone 135 f560's are a bit taller? Title: Re: firestone 135's on brm's Post by: Bryan67 on June 25, 2010, 03:08:01 am Why not 145`s? They handle and stop way better than 135`s.

was thinking if i fitted 135's it would give a bit more stretch Title: Re: firestone 135's on brm's Post by: Kaferdog on June 25, 2010, 09:53:48 am Here's a shot for ya ..... ;)

Flat 4 ones are 5" wide, MWS are 5.5". If you've got the MWS, you'll need the 145s. You could get away with the 135s on the Flat 4, but I wouldn't. I've got 145 Michelins for my Flat 4's - I prefer the sidewall to the Firestones.

Did you try? Title: Re: firestone 135's on brm's Post by: benssp on June 30, 2010, 22:02:51 pm I'd go with 145's on the front, go as wide as you like on the back ;D

Did you try? I tried 135/70 on a 5,5 inch rim. If this works, than 135/80 will be ok too. |
