Yes, WS6. Fitment is good no rubbing. 15x8.5 Convo Pro.

On the Zo, I used a 255 50 16 MT drag radial on a 16x8 Z/28 rim, to run the 11.4x

Sweet. I'm gonna mount them on a set og 15 x 10 bogarts.. so if anything, the tire may end up slightly shorter.. making clearance less of an issue.

Good to hear they work.. on both your cars LOL

Got out to the track with the M/T Radials......Those mothers HOOK!!! Pulled a 1.60 wheels up 60 ft time last night. And that's at Moroso. Moroso isn't the best hooking track most of the time. They would hook, pull the front tires then unload and spin just a bit, but not much. Best hooking tire on the street and the track that I've ever had.

PM'd gator about these tires and he talked me into them even though I didn't think they'd hold the 4000converter/3.73 combo at Moroso.
Thanks Gator!!

Sounds like they are a fantastic tire for drag racing. I wonder about the "GREAT street tire too" comment. If you mean its great to have a tire that is great for drag racing that you can drive home from the track in dry weather then OK maybe.

I think they specifically mention that this tire is recommended for DRY pavement only. I imagine they are about the worst tire you could possibly have (other than a complete slick) in a heavy rain driven on the street...

Stock suspension except for BMR lower control arms ,no front sway bar and Weld skinnies up front. 275/50/15 M/T Dr's on 15x8 Welds out back. Car weighs 3630 with me in it.

I'm thoroughly impressed with these tires.
