SAG tyres
drmike:
That's it - that's why I got rid of the SAG, the speed rating was wrong for the RR.
That said they worked very well indeed and the radials may have higher speed rating.

I run SAG's on and off road. do about 100 road miles a week on em. they howl a bit and at 80 on the motorway everything shakes. oh and they wear pretty quickly. but theyre not too bad. theyre ok off road and have never really let me down.
thepsychoman:
Remember that these are also pretty small tyres - 7.50/16s are real skinny and not that tall. If your mates are all running 235/85/16 and up tyres, you'll end up a stuck in the mud (boom, boom!).
Having said that... used to run them on my SIII many years ago - good tyre - cheap and better in the rough than a standard MT but not a patch on a Simex/Grizzley/INSA IMHO... but I remember doing monster tail slides in 2 wheel drive on tarmac, as mentioned above! Great fun!!!!

7.50 have the same diameter as 235/85 (or near as damn it),so height isn't an issue really. And being narrow can have its advantages. They are remarkable good offroad and at £10 a corner you can't go wrong.

Agree with the logic about the width and certainly the price! But personally I've ran 750s and 235/85s back to back and the latter are defo a fair bit taller (though I guess to some extent it depends on the make). But as you say, at a tenner a corner...
