white wall spats on lowpro tyres
hi all im thinking of putting 50 series tyres on the front of my split just wondering if any one is running 50s with white wall spats and how they are
holding up?
thinking of fitting them then spraying contact cement would be happy if they only last the life of the tyre
thanks

Dont quote me on this but I have heard that you will damage the whitewall flaps if you glue them on, as when the tyre is flat at the bottom the flap
moves away from the tyre a bit and if it was glued it wont be able to do this.
I can see this happening because if you look behind a flap that has been on a tyre for a while you will see it has worn the tyre.
Like I said it might be ok but just what I had heard.
Cheers
Dave
