Gosh.... I hate shrinkage!


Maybe a little Viagra in the mix will help!

Sounds like the beads are way too small and will pull of the wheel when on the throttle.

Thats what I'd like to know, how bad is bad? Will the bead even squeeze into a 2.2 wheel at all?

The shrinkage is something that has caught me completely off guard, so please accept my apologies. I hope to GOD they can make this rubber work with the existing mold.

Anyone who is familiar with injection molding knows how much these molds cost...so, please say a prayer!

It can't be that bad? For my super i put a tire with a 3.2" bead on a 3.8" rim and they work great.

Send me a set, i'll stretch them on some rims and run them!

They are "that bad"! I stretched them to get them on the wheel but they where badly deformed by it.

If you decide to not keep all of them, I wouldn't mind doin some 1.9's out of them.. pm me If anything changes.. thanks.

Hoping the new factory can handle making the 2.2's without shrinkage. Waiting to mount up a set to my comp rig!

Good to hear your working on getting these tire out to us.
But i'm guessing with this set back we won't see these tires for at least another 6months? ;(
