Wheels & Tires

Idle speculation: Snipped:
And yes, I realize that the Elio is light and that reduces tyre loads.

Can we fit some wide pawns on the front with deep dish rims chrome rings and moon caps. L60's would be a bit over the top I think. With no power steering.

Oh I don't know Smitty... It might work out ok... Shucks I had G60 15's on the front (H60's on the rear) of my 69 Corvette convertible... It weighed in at about 3600#'s and had a 3 deuce 435hp 427 motor... No power steering, "rock crusher" Muncie M-22 4 speed, FM radio... Clutch was non hydraulic so at a long light the old left leg could get to trembling a bit! It was a chore to drive around town but at speed it did just fine...

Ahh those were the days...

OUTFREAKIN' STANDING!!! Thank you so much JC... Wow!!! Sure makes me wish I still had this one... Of course I'd have to mix fuel to drive it... Wouldn't run on anything less than 98 octane Super Shell... Thanks again ... great job...

Further to our discussion about the right tires for the job and knowing how to drive properly in adverse conditions.....

Here's someone who still has a few things to learn:

It doesn't matter how many electronic aids you have, if you don't have any tire grip, they don't help!

Is it wrong that I enjoyed that video so much?
