Just ordered this setup yesterday. The prices have changed a bit, but not terribly.
The M&H tires are on backorder due to an ordering snafu on their end, but in my case it's fine, since it's 110° out there these days. Not much racing going on. Just getting ready for November

I have to check the air pressure when the tires have been stored for any extended length of time & put some air in them.
Over the winter they might get down to 15-20#.
Over a week/weekend they do not loose any appreciable amount.
Even though they leak down (very) slowly, I feel more comfortable knowing that, if I run over a screw or other sharp object during a pass, they will leak down slowly whereas a tube will usually go flat a lot quicker.
I learned about how fast a tube type tire will go flat back in my motorcycle riding days. Even from 65 MPH, it's sometimes hard to get slowed down before a tube type tire goes completely flat.
Gotcha - thanks. I just got a call from the guy mounting the tires and he said he couldn't find tubes anywhere, but they were mounted and seemed to be holding air, so I'll call it good!
Ran these skinnies for the first time today. I ran them at 35 PSI since that's the max PSI indicated on the tire sidewall. What PSI is everyone else running?
Also, has anyone figured out a good way to torque down/remove the nuts from the spacer? Short of having someone sit in the car and step on the brakes for me, it was very difficult to torque the spacer down since the rotor would keep on turning. Same deal with removing them, very difficult. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm also going to need a real low profile jack b/c mine will not fit under the car with these smaller tires.

My srt8 300 was so low with the skinnies and bogarts, when slowing down at end of run, front end scraped, also on bumps. But I was really low, you should be fine, 120 trap speeds, steady , no issues!
I bring a couple of 2X6's with me. I put the front tires on the 2X6's to help raise the front end to get the jack underneath. I usually don't have a problem the the 20's are on the front but I've had a hard time get the jack back out when the skinnies go on. I even have a low profile jack.
I know some guys have put a breaker bar in between the studs while torqueing down the lugs. I run 55psi in mine. I know it a little high, but with 35psi it seems like the tire sits way too low.
Wow, you guys are awesome. I'll try out the breaker bar idea for sure. Still gonna grab a low-pro jack and some wood to stick under the tires. The skinnies did look a little flat at 35 PSI once they're on the car. I dont know about going up to 55 like robsrt, but I will raise it up some, maybe to 45. That should the front not sit as low too.
I placec a piece of 2X6 (about 8" long) under the floor pan just inside the rocker panel & lift just below the front door handle. That pretty well balances thje car out
This has been such a helpful thread...thanks to all you great pioneers! :beerchug:
