22 Front tyre question.....

[Caine]

Was just wondering if you guys are stretching the tyres over the wide front rims, or cutting the rims back to suit.
Just unsure as i'm wondering how much it will effect handling going narrower or wider!
Thanks

on my xxx-cr I've tried both ways with mini pins and I like it more on the wide rims, you need to trim less rows (one from each side instead of 2) and its easyer to drive. I haven't tried cut staggers yet.

Slim rims on old stags only, new cut stags and spikes regular rims

Old stags also work better with no inserts.

Thanks for the advice

Have you tried slim staggers (U6592) without inserts?

Yes, those are the ones I'm on about

Stagger slim U6592 - slim rims and no inserts
Cut Stagger slim U6759 - regular rims and insert
Mini spikes slim U6549/U6550/U6581/U6761 - regular rims and inserts

On high bite tracks I find the mini spikes work better with the inner and outer rows cut off
