any 1 use donuts for skinnies when goin to the track?
i was wondering if any body uses the donuts to use as skinnies in the front? i am asking this because i would like to know the ups and downs before i go out and buy another donut and go to the track.id figure this would be cheaper then go out and buy 3.5 in 10 hole welds
what psi should i have the tires at?
are the tires safe to go 90+ mph straight down the track?
any 1 have a blow out?

Ex fd *****
They are NOT safe for speeds over 50mph (either the donuts or the rim) and I would not run at a track that would let you run them. If a track/sanctioning body lets competitors run donuts they obviously have no regard for driver safety.by Donuts I assume mean the COMPACT TEMPORARY SPARE tire.

I have seen a video or two where people went out and got skinny high speed tires put on there spares and use them on the strip, I think that this is a good idea, myself

JUst a warning from me, I have seen this done: but i claim no responsibility for any damages that so ever could occur. Although i have never seen a problem with it.

the wheel should be good for high speeds, just make sure to get a real race tire. I believe RX7.com's front wheels where the donut rims.
Note...rims are more designed for weight capacity. When was the last time you saw a aluminum rim blow apart?
