I got some new mags last week, they r cragars (14x6) and they had 4 brand new tyres, i though fuck'in oath i'll have em, but i got them home and slapped em on, no worries, until i went to move it, they have 195/75s on em and first bump whilst turning equaled rooted right hand gaurd, pumped the bastard right out but not in a good way, normally everyone would say just raise your car but im one of those people who has to have every car on its gutz, so does anyone with a decent ride height wanna buy em? the tyres are still brand new, have been driven on for about 15 metres and it is parked where i left it cause i cant turn corners, im after about $600, u might think that is expensive but look at it this way, the tyres are goodyear G-Grids which are about $129 a hoop, so x4 is about $476 and the wheels are thrown in for next to nothing, i would also be interested in a trade. cya

the profile on your tyre is way too high.

WAY TO HIGH
mate try fitting some 60's or 65's and you will have no probs...plus your rubber wont look like tractor tires

i have 14" wheels with 195/60's and they are fine

Yeah thats all good and well boyz, i would if i could, but i have forked out the money for the wheels and tyres, so i have to some how get a decent price for these new tyres to get 60's, who pays decent $$$ for second hand tyres even if they have never been driven on?
