Question 29" Tall Drag Radial?

Got a buddy whose Mustang is in a local speed shop for some work, and supposedly it'll be rolling out on a 29" drag radial. Will need to be at least 18" wide, this is a backhalved chassis.

He forgets the name of the tire they're using, but he knows it isn't a Mickey Thompson, Hoosier, or M&H Racemaster. I don't think BFG (or any of the mentioned companies) make a drag radial that fits that description.

Any ideas what in the world kind of tire is going on this thing?

18 inch wide drag radial??? BFG at one time made a 345/60...havent seen them in a while.

M&H makes something like that, do a google. Not a drag radial though it is a streetrod type tire.

The Hoosier pro street radial that comes in big sizes for tubbed cars? It's 18" wide but not a soft race compound.


# Pro Street Radial Tire Size: 29x18.50R-15LT
# Appr. Rim Widths: 13-16"(14")
# Overall Dia.: 29.0"
# Section Width: 17.8"
# Tread Width: 14.6"
# Max. Load: 1435 Lbs.
# Rated Infl.: 25 PSI
# Speed Rating: 93H

It's a replacement for people that want pro street tubbed size tires that are radial and are not bias ply.

Biggest I have seen is the m&h drag radial it's a 390 45 15 it's like 29.5 with a 15" section.
