    looking for a set of 29 - 30" x 10 - 10.5 X 15's . Must have some life left in them with no dry rot in the sidewalls.

    What about a nice set of Drag Radios ?

    The are Mickey Thomson 295/65R-15

    They hook just as hard as any slick I have run and did a 1.51 60-foot.

    Hadn't given any thought to radials. Are the heights and widths the same as what Im looking for? This car is running a 4.56 gear. tall for the 455 but works well for the 1/8 mile brackets I've been running. With the shorter tire (28") my 60's are close to the same but lose .10- .20 and 5 mph at the top end. Check out the tach and where the car shifts in this vid. Goes through the trap at 5200. With the taller tire it was going at 4800 and still pulling.

    They are a little bigger than what you have in mind. They are measured differently than racing slicks.

    Going by memory, they are 31" tall and have a section of 12.5" I think.

    I am only running 3.90 gears in the 12-bolt
