I only have about 1300 miles on the tires now...

Looks like I can make it til funds arrive for the better tire!

I think what he is saying is that the side wall will be tapering from the rim lip back to the tire, if you get anywhere near a curb you will have damage to the wheel, and if you took a hard corner and you didnt have enough tire pressure you could roll the tire off the bead.... you can use your tires but if would be better if you stepped up to a larger size.

Whats up with the stickers on your stang?
Do you get paid for that advertisment like
NASCAR racers do?

Cool, my stealership where I purchased my stang gives me
$50 a month for the sticker on the trunk advertising their
busisness.

I jus have to drive up there once a month and have them
confirm that their dealership sticker is still there and they
hand me $50. Thats better than the 'free' oil changes.....
