We run the Phoenix 31-13-15's F9 compound on the duster. We tried some hoosiers once and did not like them. Phoenix has never let us down! We get on average 300 runs on a set.

Now that is good mileage! I thought I was doing well with 200+ on my Phoenix 12.2 x 31.25 W

For the original poster. Try running inner tubes and as much air pressure as you can hook. This helps tire (sidewall) life. Also a nice wide rim. I have heard many racers successfully running 33 x 10.5 W tires on 14" wide rims.

10-5-29-5-15
10-5-31-0-15w
10-5-33-0-15w
12-2-31-25-15w

Phone Coker Tire and ask them to check a few pairs for rollout. The 31x10.5W is rated 99.5", but they might have a set around 97 on the rack.




I would love to run 33" tall tires but we can't get them in the wheel openings. We're running a 65 Coronet with stock wheel openings and mini tubs. We run some NSS races so we want to stay with 10.5" tall tires. The car weights 3700 lbs and runs 9.70's - 9.80's, and the side walls do take a beating, so tubes are a good thought.
Any one else running tubes?

Thanks again.

Kevin
