I'm thinking about trying a class with 29.5x10.5 non w limit and wondering what brand has the biggest rollout. I want the most tire I can legally because I will be pushing the limit on rpm unless I change from my 4.86 to 4.30 gear. I may need to change it anyway to make the car hook. | ||

Hoosier 29.5 x 10.5S-15 Part# 18194 and there’s no reason why you can’t hook on this tire. | |||

The M/T 3062S IS the standard for a 29.5x10.5 tire. We run NA10.5 NMCA and West coast NA stuff and it is the best tire period. NMCA cars have been low 7.60's on them. MOst 60' in the low teens, we have been as fast as 1.08 60' on them as have others. Many have tested the Hooiser and all come back to the M/T, well all the fast cars anyway. FWIW I run them on my 3600lb fun car as well. Its not lightning fast 60' car for sure but its been 8.80's and low 1.20's on them. But I pull a fair amouont of timing as I would rather do wheelies than chase ET "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." Marcus Tullius Cicero | |||

The M/T's we have gotten lately or in the 94.5" or so range. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." Marcus Tullius Cicero | |||

thanks for the replies. Will they work on 15" wide wheels? Are radials as forgiving as a bias drag slicks? This is a limited prep class. | |||

Well I know they can be stretched to a 14" wheel. As for the two tires a radials will be faster, IF the track surface is prepped for it. I have zero experience with a radial slick. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." Marcus Tullius Cicero | |||

We have run MT PBR's on a couple different cars and they are flawless. Mind you these are 10 sec bracket and or S/St and or footbrake cars. Long life and never had a problem hooking em. If they were around back in the day we wouldn't have back halfed nearly as many cars. PS. IMHO you will probably need bead locks on a 14" wheel. They are a stiff carcass tire and might not want to stay beaded at low pressures. We typically run a 10" wheel. | |||

Agree 100% !!! Used to run Hoosiers myself but these PBR's are a better tire in my opinion. Little to no burnout required and they last forever !!!! 200-300 runs is the norm in our 3400lb car going 6.30's/40's | |||

M/T PBR's are a great tire & we are on our 2nd set of 29.5 x 10.5s. We have been 5.70s in the 1/8th & they plain work for our racing program. I recently returned from an un-scheduled trip & checked the tire pressure. They were the same as I last raced them almost 2 months ago, 19 lbs. As for this tire being the best tire for the OP. IMO, he should be on a bias-ply slick. 2BKING 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||
