Default Fastest 1/4 MPH on Spare Skinnies? This should be interesting!!

For what it is worth I had a blowout going 75 mph on the freeway in the past while driving home from the track on spare skinnies. It took out a full fender...

Does anyone have some glory E.T. MPH stories running on spares??

Who has the fastest 1/4 MPH on spares?? This should be interesting...

Believe it or not this thread might be useful to a lot of people that are concerned about this...

Back in the early 2000s we used to raid junk yards for Ford Fiesta Spares to use as skinnes as broke *** young racers...They were good for 2 tenths...LOL

I only ran my GTO spares for a couple passes until the M&H skinnies arrived. I gave the spare tires to the shop that mounted the M&H tires. I usually change tires at the track, since race tires are not real street friendly.

Most likely in the low 120's. IIRC it was only a couple passes, since I was well aware the speed rating was 81 mph and the tires were already 6 years old. I ordered the M&H tires right after the GTO skinnies arrived.
