12.5 sounds like a mini tub slick to me. What car and has it been tubbed out and the rearend narrowed?

Fox body mustang with 48x96 wheel tubs and no but could be 57 inches and 1/4 inch or less if I were to get it shortened.

Wider slick would help with weak prep scenarios.

If you plan on entering any events. The 28 - 10.5 Non W is the tire you want. That is what most of all the small tire events are anymore. Getting the car to leave the line clean is the challenge. Some stupid fast cars are on 28 -10.5 Non W's. Real good shocks are critical. Can't stress that enough.
