What is the absolute widest (Tread width) slick that someone is running? i just see a person running a 26 X 11.5 any wider?

What does son of sam run? Is that the biggest tire? I know from the second magazine article I read it looked tremendous, but I do not recall the size, sorry.

I've seen guys run 28x12.5s before. I seem to recall even seeing one guy run a 28x13.5. What width to Colonel run? I know its a 29...

I run 29x10x15 Hoosiers. BTW, they are FAR wider than the 26x11.5x15 ET Streets I once ran. Point being, don't go by the designated width. Measured is what matters. For example, a "10w" tire will be much wider than than a regular 10 slick.

Another point....it's not really how wide your contact patch is but rather how hard you push it into the pavement that matters. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I have seen...

28x10Wx15
28x12.5x15 ET Street
28x13.5x15 Hoosier DOT
29x13.5x15 Hoosier DOT (Same as 10.5 slick)

I have not seen anything wider than a 26x11.5x15 ET Street in a 26" offering...

i will be running 28x14.5 Hoosier OTPs this year (12.0 tread, 13.1 sidewall). last year i ran 28x10.5 et drags (10.0 tread, 11.7 sidewall). wanted to get them today but didnt have time. hopefully i can get them soon and take some pics. room on the inside of the tire will be no problem with what i have done to my car, but i am unsure of how far it will stick out. hopefully its not TOO ugly

There Weld Magnum Drags and u need to have shortened rear to fit them correctly.

Those are Drag Magnums all 4 tires and wheels weigh in at 100lbs. The car will be finished in about 1-2 weeks. Still need to finish the fuel system and wire all the pumps and stuff. Thanks for the kind words from everyone. The car has a complete Billingsley cage and suspenspion setup. With a race weight of 3200lbs.It is just a lowly LT1 with a YS trim . But we are making a serious attempt at the first "Stock" suspended 4th gen in the 8's. If it doesn't do it on just the blower I may have to put the spray back on it. Only time will tell. <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />
