Does anyone know what size slick is equivalent to a P295/65-R15 street tire? Thanks!

I think the 295 MT I measured was pretty close to 30" tall, maybe a bit shorter.

Keep in mind that the same size bias ply slick will grow on the big end, but a radial won't. If you want to see the same trap rpm with a radial, it needs to be .5-1" taller than the bias ply it replaces.

doing the math, 295 section is 11.6" wide

65 series aspect ratio and 15" rim calculates to 30.1" tall

Looks like they tend to vary Randy... if you look at
a Goodyear they show them a 1/2" wider and a 1/2" than
a Hoosier
EDIT
Looking at Summit the M/T 295/65-15 drag radial
that I bought is 10.9 tread width at 30" tall... so
its .9 wider than I said

Thanks! It isn't that fast at the moment. The new bullet is sitting on the dyno waiting for a few little parts. Should be back in one piece next week with any luck.

I think the 295 was a slight bit bigger than my 10.5x29.5's. If you can fit the 295 you should be able to fit the 10.5x29.5
