[ROVERNET - UK] P6 Tires

[Vern Klukas]

With the cranked rear arms, I have run 205/65 tires on stock 2000 
rims without rubbing at the rear, but unless you adjust the steering 
stops, you will rub inside the front fender wells on lock and jumping 
the car over a really big hump in the road at speed will leave a 
lovely cloud of tire smoke behind when all four wheels come onto the 
bump stops. Mind you, a P6 on the bump stops at speed leaves you with 
rather more to deal with than sightseeing, lol. The car gets pretty 
undecided about where it is going under those conditions, and then 
leaps off the ground and gets very light for a breathtaking moment. 
Heh. Ah, what fools as youths we be.

Yours
Vern
