Just wanted to make sure you guys have seen this. A guy here bought several pair of 32x14 and loves them. They say they are really good tires, just trying to get their name out there. They dont make a rear in my size so I bought two fronts. Got 2 27x4.5 fronts for $148. Best part is its unlimited to how many you buy! Great deal.

I've been running their 14.5x32's on my Scamp for over a year and I really like them. I'm buying another set now even those these are not worn out yet.

FWIW we ran Hoosiers, M/T's for years. Had to buy Toyo's when we had difficulty buying the usual brands. Was a bit sceptical but I think they are a really good tyre, work well on our car and I'll use them again

30 x 10.5 W. Very similar in size to the 29.5 x 10.5 M/T 3062. "Tread" is a little wider and the tyre surprisingly took a little more pressure than we usually run. It was around 1 1/2 to 1 1/4 lb more if IIRC. Ran with tubes, still think it could take more pressure maybe upto 14lb.

Toyo says the tires are designed to be ran without tubes.

I did think that they are of a stiffer sidewall construction than Hoosiers or M/T and considered leaving the tubes out. At the track, we still had to run more pressure than I expected, even with the tubes. The more pressure we put in, the better they got. They worked well on our car and got us a new best 60ft last time out. True real world results with our car, HTH's

I'll try to get a pic up of my car launching, you can see the tire wad up very clearly. Mine worked best at 7.5 psi but I could probably run more at a better track, still the tire has yet to even turn a revolution on any launch at any track and I still have some adjusting to do on the four link.

Were at 13.5ish psi from our usual 12, (I'd have to check the journal). I think we could go more, the Caltracs hit the tyre hard and the car is heavy. Toyo UK are still listing it http://www.toyo.co.uk/productdetail.php?identity=products&product_id=55 , I can't find a US site for Toyo's. I'd be dissapointed if they stopped making it (or them) definitely has the edge IMHO Tyre comparisons for reference M/T Sww 13.1 Trd 10.2 Dia 29.9 Circ 94 Toyo Sww 13.3 Trd 11.2 Dia 29.7 Circ 93.7 all in inches

DaKuda, Toyo UK list these in addition to the list you have: 15W" 30.0x10.5 - 15W 11.2 29.7 93.3 13.3 29.3 10.0 8.0-10.0 14 33.0X10.5 - 15W * * * * * * * * 16W" 33.0X10.5 - 16W * * * * * * * * 16" 33.5X17.0 - 16 * * * * * * * * 34.0x17.0 - 16 17.0 34.4 108.0 20.4 45.2 16.0 15.0-16.0 6 Don't know why they aren't listed on the US site  Guitar Jones, We wadded the tyres pretty bad to begin with, just kept increasing the pressure, the car ran a better 60ft each time. Looks like you could go more, seems like they take more pressure than the usual brands

What would you guys reccomend?
69 b-body 383 4-speed 4:10 gear
13.04 @110 with a street radial 285/70r15(spinning badly)(31" tall tire)
Now my current tire is a 275/60r15 they look a little small back there.(have not ran this size at track)28" tall
I have 8 in rims
should I run the 370070 (29.0x9.0x15)
or the 370280(30.0x09.0x15)
I will be buying one of these part numbers so keep it limited to these 2.
I'm not a die-hard racer,but would love to see my car run somewhere in the twelves.
I know that you should use the tallest tire you can get under there,but I felt that the 285/70r15 radials were too tall!
Thanks!
For what you're doing, I would go with a M/T 275 drag radial. I was running 11.70s with a 1.61 short time with that tire in a pump gas, street legal 3500-lb '64 fury. They were pretty consistent unless the track had water coming up through it.

I think they are made in Japan.
The store I found did not have the discount & another Toyo store didn't even list the slicks. I am interested in the 27.5 front tires.

IMO, the 29.0x9.0x15 fits your combination better.

If the bigger tire s will fit, bigger is always better on a slick. To a certian extent, a VW bug does not need 14x32x15 slicks with a VW 1600 CC motor

Put some air in them things
EDIT
Looks like you could use a anti roll bar also
I tried the air pressure up and down from 7.5 and that seemed to work best. Although as I said at a good track I could probably run more.
I'll agree on the antiroll bar though. I had it leaving nice and level off the foot brake but when I use the transbrake it still leaves like that no matter how much preload I put into the top right bar.

I figured they were. I'll keep buying M/T and Goodyear tires made in the USA. Some Goodyears are not and I won't buy those either.
I guess I must be the last guy in America that doesn't think it's OK to keep buying foreign products while our manufacturing base is being destroyed. This frustrates me to no end.

If I'm correct, Mickey Thompson tyres were being made in England until recently

Could be that they were made for European market I was told that they were making M/T tyres at the Avon / Cooper tyre factory and it closed very recently.
Also I know certain Iron and Aluminium blocks are cast over here, though I'm not saying they will have "Made in USA" on them

Thanks for all the replies, I just received my 29x9.0x15 Toyo slicks from a company called Treadepot.com in Georgia.
I look forward to meeting some of you at Edgewater or tri-state in 2011 !
I run at both .

Thanks for the reply. My set were delivered today. I have never used anything but M.T. wrinkle wall slicks before. So I have no experience with a stiff walled tire. I usually run 14 lbs. of air in the M.T.'s. I had hoped that Toyo would have sent some air pressure recommendations along with the tires, but they did not.
They told me 9psi since they have a stiffer sidewall, I'd already been to the track with them and knew this wasnt the case. I found an extra 1lb over the M/T's worked best for us but looking at the vids and such they would probably take more. IIRC ended at 13 psi, have to check the log book.

I was thinking about going ahead and getting a set of Toyo since they were so cheap to try them but I spoke with someone who sold Toyo and learned that they haven't made slick since 2008 so they are old slicks and that's why they are getting rid of them. They also don't have any plans on making more so think about that before you buy them.
I may still buy some since my car will almost hook in a car wash and since I'm over tired...

I just recieved my new set of Toyo's from Les Schwab 14.5x32.They look very nice,roll out was EXACTLY the same,they balanced w/ mininium weight.They look like a slightly stiffer side wall than my regular Mickeys 3074, more like 3074s.The Les Schwab website was easy and helpful.www.lsdragslicks.com/faq.asp.Best of all they were $318.00 for a pair delivered.I'll see how they work in a week or so.I believe they're bias
