I'm pretty sure that they cannot be run with 135's. I think 145's are the smallest tire you can run them on properly. But I could be wrong.

You will have no problem with a 2" porto on a 135.
Do you do know how to install them the easy way?
Deflate the Tire completly by removing the core, soap up the bead area, With gloves on for padding slap them in with a closed hand Karate chop!!  seriously. |

145/65 is about the smallest tire ports can mount on.
i have them on the front of my bug and if i let the tire pressure drop, the porta walls will hit the ground.
