I posted this in the Question and Answer section but thought there might be a lot of Street/Strip guys here. I've been running 3 1/2" wide wheels on the front of my Duster for 22 years on the street. In the past I've had 165SR15 Michelin and Goodyear radials. It's time for some new ones and am looking for something better. These usually look like they are flat since they really aren't designed for a V8 car, more like a Volkswagen Beetle. They don't seem to be producing them anymore. Mickey Thompson has an 8-ply tire that says street or drag use made for 3,000 pounds or heavier. My Duster is about 3,200 with me in it. 26" diameter is good also. Has anyone used these? http://www.jegs.com/i/Mickey+Thompson/672/1573/10002/-1Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Dave

We used a 21575D15 tire on the Demon which was a same size as the Moroso 7.10/15 we use now.Worked great.
