? Look like wheels and big tyres to me.

In what way? because they have 8 holes in the centre?!

 

[Craigus]

Because he has shined the tread?

just thought it was a bit unsafe to have so many holes

 

[Ali]

& Thats fine. we used to do that on the race car tyres.

Tyre shined the tread? Surely that is dangerous

How exactly? no worse than a wet road, and it will wear off after 10 odd rotations on the tarmac.

I watched a program recently where a motorbiker died when he lost control of his bike on a corner. He wasn't going fast. Turns out it was because he had used tyre shine on more than just the sidewall which reduced his grip.

Maybe different in cars I guess

cars dont rely on the side walls of the tires to balance were as bikes do .

Oh dear. Brilliant idea to shine / teflon coat the very surface that grips the road.

8 holes = multifit

so can fit various different cars, nothing wrong there
