i have over 100 passes on some VDub tires on Convo Pros, i run them at 40lbs on the street and on the Track. youll be fine

My skinnies are run at 42 psi at the track and on the street. With extended studs they are fine. The tires are cheap kumho's with a 118 speed rating.They are fine and safe enough that I drive to and from the track on them, even drove out over 200 miles on them in the rain with 2 DR's in the back seat. I don't think I've ever read of a skinny blowing out on someone.

My question was regarding the wheels not tires.
