dont know if anyone can correct me on this.

i have just received the below tyres from MB to fit on some rear durango wheels

#U6786 - Schumacher Block - Rear Tyres - Yellow - CAT pr

now ive got them on the wheels after a fight but how does the bead sit on the wheels, with the block tyres there seems to be a 5mm overhang over the inner and outer wheel edge. my ballistics and other schumacers tyres sit flush with the edge.

have i bought the wrong tyre (beed) for durango wheels or are they meant to be like this. i know they say (CAT) on them so do they not fit durango wheels?

comparrison



all what i have received

They're fine,just a different side wall that's all. Mini pins fit similar to your blocks on rear but not quite as much over hang. Check out the ones you have on your car.

The conventional modern day tyre size is 2.2 inch, this is what your ballistics etc are. The schumacher blocks are basically a revamped older tread tyre in a modern compound, when they were brought out the standard tyre size was 2 inch, so these tyres still have a diameter designed for 2 inch rims - its not a problem though just fit them onto your 2.2 rims, as you say it will be a very tight fit! Just use a standard insert - I notice you have bought the 'tubby' insert, this will be ok for your modern tyres but too big I think for the blocks, make sure you glue them and you're good to go

been down to RHR tonight for the first time on the practice day. really enjoyed it,

on arriving i met some old touring car drivers which i havent seen in 4 years so had bit of a catch up.

Charlesk i now know who you are , i didnt realise how many replies you have put on my thread and how much help you gave me getting set up on here. i was running those tyres from your advice on here.

still need to sort the handling out, but need to re-oil my shocks, and try a few different set ups, need to set my transmitter up properly also. but will get there eventually.

i wont be down again for a few weeks now as i am on holiday, but thanks once again. Great track and on my door step
