yeah you can have them on all the time, but IMO that would be stupid for a couple reasons-

1. they would wear way to quickly
2. not good in water
3. extremely soft sidewall, one major advantage over a street tire at the track, not near as good ride quality
4. also i noticed yesterday they are noissssyyyyyyyyyyyyy

well the wheels are 7 inches wide, but the tire is almost 10 inches wide overall, plenty of rubber...

I like these as well, 430 for the pair with mounting and balancing and all. How do you add the mounting and balancing to your order on discount tire?

I think i might get these with the voxx 5 spoke instead. if they will fit fine on a 7 inch rim.

And did you order the tire warrenty or whatever it is.
