Hi Graham, yes they came and are on the car, huge improvement, steers much better now and feels nice, the tyre centre recommended 36psi so that’s what’s in them at the moment, I’ll experiment with different pressures and see what difference it makes👍🏻
Why do you run yours at such a high pressure?

I bought tubeless tyres as that is what was on the car however when changing they found there were tubes in them, apparently you can’t fit tubes into tubeless tyres now so I’ve got 4 spare tubes if anyone wants them👍🏻

Hi Graham
I'm surprised the wheels hold air as they weren't built for tubeless. I have retained tubes in my tubeless. Time will tell I guess.
I was advised to run mine at 45psi as they are built for a heavier vehicle, I'll try them at 36 and see if I can notice any difference.
