ALWAYS go with a stiff sidewall slick. For your car, I would go with a M/T 29.5x9 STICK tire. They are similar to a 10.5W tire, and have a stiffer sidewall.


Not sure that going with a tire that will be 3" narrower than I run now would be the right choice? I did find a set of Hoosier stiff wall 29 10.50 X15"s that are supposed to be 1" narrower than I have now. I'm leaning toward them at this time. The MT 29" stiff walls are supposed to actually measure 10.2" wide but are 29.9" tall. The Hoosiers are supposed to measure the same as I have now at 29.3"
