I don't recognise them, you're right though Rob they look a higher spec than the Hypermax, more Performer spec, they are definitely not the current Performer model though.

 

Don't think they are a current or recent model from what I can tell.

they DO NOT HAVE AIR pump in them, its nitrogen that is used in the shocks. but do not attempt to check the pressure using a normal tyre pressure gauge as you will loose all pressure within seconds. i have hypermax 11 fitted to my car and the pressure in them is 70psi but i have not as yet found any data to confirm the correct pressures.

the valve on one of them is not tight so does that mean they are useless then if so Ive been sold a pile of sh*t

 

 

Is it the valve it self that is loose or just the dust cap ?

you have two choices:

1/have them fitted then check handling/cornering or

2/ send them to someone like chris wilson to have them checked over.

Hi all and many thanks to those who replied to me sorry for not being around for a while had a few domestic issues to deal with Chris you say you can regas them but I cant afford to send them all the way up to you as I live near Brighton.

I've found a tyre place that has a nitrogen compressor they are happy to pump them up but again I'm not sure of the pressure they run I know I'm totally useless with this kinda thing but I dont know where to get the info from sorry I hope some one can help as I'm skint and at the moment working on my car is the only escape from my probs but enough about that cheers guys your a great bunch of people and I know if you can help ye will do ;)
