they are 33/12.50/16.5. I have fitted them to a set of 16 inch disco alloys

Why would anyone do that?

nothing a stanley blade wouldnt fix .5 removed................. no seriously its not cricket and your insurance is technically invalidated as you have fitted wrong equipment then again 60mm wheel spacers could be the said to be the same.

Because i got them for free and 16.5 defender wheels are impossible to find. I have had them on the rims for about 2 months and they have not lost a single psi of pressure.
But seriously what could cause a problem as nothing wrong has appeared so far?

ricky31290 · Jan 30, 2013

Oh and before taking on the road, i drove around a private bit of road at my work and cornered at speed, left to right etc and still no loss of pressure.

they could, catastrophically, blow off the rims at any time

have you ever been near a tyre that has exploded? i have my mate used to change tyres at a bus garage and one new tyre exploded (he had it in a cage at the time) that's scary seriously scary
