See anything wrong with that chart?
Its already been looked into and confirmed that the tire *does* say 140 on the sidewall of more then 1 tire. Its not a typo.....

They will be illegal because only 1 size is available, but wouldn't it be nice to show up in STX at nationals on that tire ;)

They have 2 diameters listed. So they are not that far off. I think Dennis Grant was right when he predicted that ST would go the same way as Open class...expensive tires rule.

I thought ST didn't require multiple sizes and diameters -- just DOT approval and that magic 140 on the sidewall. Time to see if moutons.org is still blocked...

Legal for THSCC TIR class too!!

Maybe I should get some of these and come back to TIR class. That would be interesting.

At $215 per tire, those things are dirt cheap!

These are currently legal. The rim size and width sizes do not apply to street touring classes.
