Wheel and tire info and pics
Hello everyone. I am on here quite a bit, but don't post very often. Anyway, I bought my Cruiser in July and it was already modded pretty heavily. What I am concerned with are the rims and tires. This is my first experience with low profile tires and I am kind of stuck in the middle of liking them and hating them. I like the look, but I am not enjoying the hassle. I will explain. First, I have 235/40 ZR18 91W Nitto tires on 18" Lexani wheels. I do not know the width of the rim. I have had 2 blowouts with these tires already. Given, they were used and I do not know the mileage that was on them. I didn't realize they were around $170.00 per tire. I have replaced the front 2, but they constantly lose air pressure. I have had them checked and nothing is wrong, so they tell me. Within a week they lose 10-15 lbs of air. I was told that running low pro tires with low air really tears up and weakens the sidewall which seems obvious. I am just tired of having to pay extreme attention to the air in my tires, like daily. Does anyone else experience anything like this. I am contemplating going to a smaller rim and a larger tire to remedy this. Any and all input is welcome. Thanks guys, and hope for lots of input.
P.S.
1.) What size rim comes stock on the cruiser?
2.) Can you also post pics and specs of what you are running?
Thanks again.
