You should pressurize your tires to the max allowed by the tire rating. The ride is what it is. The test for shocks is to push down on a fender. The car...
Hi Lawrence, I run my tires about 5 lbs. over the max pressure, for a little more speed and better tire wear. One would think a little lower tire pressure...
If I had the specs for them, I would look through a place like Auto Zone and find a replacement set...I will have to take one of I guess and do some ...
You might be right about the spring situation... that could be the reason for the rough ride, and if so, that is even more difficult to solve, I will do some...
Well, inflating my tires to max definitely increases the harshness... 25 lbs is recommended,,, what do others use? When I put 10 pounds in,,, ride is much...
The "maximum Inflation Pressure" number on the side of the tire should only be used when the tires/vehicle is carrying the maximum load. If the tires are...
Without any shocks, the spring rate does not change, just the dampening is missing. So if all four failed at once, a vehicle could go down a bumpy street like...
Did a search at Tirerack.com for "lrr" and the search came back empty but it asked if I meant "elrr". Evidently there is an extra low rolling resistance that...
Joe, They would fit fine on my e825 Utility (short flat bed). I have 195/60R-14 (23.21" diameter) BF Goodrich Traction T/A on it. There is plenty of room for...
Michael, thanks, that is the info I needed, I will do it the easy way, your way, just take one in and say match this for length, extended and compressed. Wow...
What would it take to lift a GEM to give extra tire clearance? And, any idea what max tire size is without a lift? Bob in AZ **************It's only a deal if...
If I go to PEP Boys and look for wheels,,, I am looking for 13 inch wheels,,,, what offset, back space, etc do I need? I am looking for tires a bit taller...
... You won't have many tire choices with 13" wheels but you will have lots of tire choices if you go with 14" wheels. GEM wheels have 4 lug holes on 4inch...
Thanks for the reply, Rick! I've found your post on that forum to be very informative. I, too, have noticed the massive amount of spambots trying to gain...

Has anyone ever used those trailer wheel- tires on a GEM? Other than perhaps not being a street legal highway tire (mine is used on city streets only) What...
Bob, some of the harshness of the ride of a two passenger GEM can be attributed to the extremely short wheelbase of the vehicle. In a four passenger (or six...
They don't work, Bob. The rims might fit, but the tires don't hold up to driving on the road... I don't know whether it's because of the weight, or the fact...
I assume we are talking about those small/narrow ones that are on little 4x6 trailers? Because both of my trailers take tyres that have reinforced sidewalls...

We got our 2001 4-seater GEM w/o doors in June and have been loving it! We live in Sacramento, CA so it has been great since the weather is so warm, but I'm...
