Hi Larry,
I have a set of them on my Lotus Seven America. I have them on 5 in.
magnesium minilites and they are excellent tires. I have used the same size
Bridgestones on a Bugeye and had no problems, they were also on mag
minilites that were 5 in.
I will definitely buy them again. A good wearing tire with excellent
traction.
