[Fot] Tire clearance - TR6 steel wheels

[Jack Mc]

The centers tear out of  TR6 steel wheels when you race them - even on DOT
tires. When (not if) this happens, you will likely feel it in time to stop
before the wheel tears completely apart.
At least one of my RifRAF racing teammates on this list  can tell you what it
feels like.

Cheers,
Jack Mc
