That would be cheaper but it would also be like a woman fakeing an orgazim.

I paid 65 bucks for 4 tires all in real great cond on CL then did this...
Ive done Many before and they all came out great as well...

So what you're saying is that you'll never notice the difference?

Maybe they've perfected these things over the years, but I remember a buddy having those probably 20 years ago and he could never get a good seal. He ended up having to run inner tubes. They slow-leaked down all the time.

816allen · 11-29-2009, 05:06 PM

Ya if you had that prob u could do a tube or use that green slime they sell man thats some good stuff!!! I have some of that crap in one of my wheels and its work perfect so far also my rider has it in all four wheels and no more leaks in those and the tires are shot on that thing lol

DaddyMack · 11-29-2009, 05:16 PM

**DPowers** · 11-29-2009, 07:34 PM

*BGRAFX* · 11-29-2009, 11:34 PM

I snapped this pic of a van at the gas station you can see how the white is rubbing down. Thanks for posting links what is the most common tire size? I'm thinking about running some wide whites on my 81 suburban.

My tires are buffed. I bought them at Pep Boys, Futura Super Sports with raised white letters. I had them done at a lowrider shop in Albuquerque...

Orale!!!

I did the same thing as Joe, got my whites shaved here in San Diego. Ive got some ugly curb rash on my front right tire now, and shaved whitewalls dont clean up so good. Guess im getting curb feelers next, a little lowrider touch.
