Arrow Anyone running skinnies up front and how are they?

Was thinking about buying some skinnies and putting them on my everyday driver! The car is driven to work and back for probably a total of 40-50 miles a day. Mostly highway driven but
can take the residential streets if needed. Is anyone running the
skinnies as their everyday driver? Please let me know on this matter as i am ready to buy.


Thanks
Mike

There are several people that do ( or at least I see around), but how skinny are you talking about. 15X4? 15X3? The only reason it sounds like a bad idea to me, is in emergency situations. I mean with 4 inches of Rubber stopping a 3k# car, it is a scary thought. And also, I know the wheel and tire combo are specifically not recomended for highway driving or anything. And just think about issues in the rain. But on the other hand if you have the luxury choosing when you want to drive this car, when the conditions are right I say go for it. If not, I wouldnt want to go much smaller than a 6 inch rim, thats just me though. And, honestly, I do not know all the facts, I am sure other members will give you better answers.

Good Luck
Nathan
