What year Duster? I had to trim my rear 1/4 panels on my 1971 Duster (removed) 3.0 inches on the front side and 2.0 inches on the rear to make 315x60x15 on ten inch wide rims fit it I had a younger guy come up to that car at the Mopar race at Woodburn dragstrip back in 2008 or so and look at the car real closely and make the comment you can't make that size tire fit on this car, he said he had one and he could only make a 275x60x15 inch tire fit on it I told him to step back and look real hard at my car and tell me what he saw, I then told him when he didn't see what was done to it to make them fit that I had stretch the rear wheel wells five inches and moved the rear end forward one inch to make it look stock My message is you can make a larger tire fit if you want to do the work

Will a 28x9R15 fit on a Duster? IIRC years ago I ran a 275 (28" tall) on my 72 Duster with no modifications.

Found this on tiresize.com: 315/60R15 tires have a diameter of 29.9", a section width of 12.4" Do you have any pics on your Duster?

Will a 28x9R15 fit on a Duster? If it’ll fit on a 67 B-Body, it’ll fit on anything......

I run the Hoosier 30 x 9 radial slick and I really like them. As long as I stage in the grove (tire tracks) it hooks good. Its just a street car that has run 10.70's and I drive on the street all the time with the slicks .I only run SS springs with no adjustable shocks other then 90/10 shocks up front and I run from 16 to 18 psi. Ron Thanks!

After buying my first set of 29.5X10.5 Pro Bracket Radials I will never use another tire again! Over 3 years on one set I put on about 500 passes, the 60 foot never varies more than about 8 thou throughout the day, I run them at 19 psi and don't do a burnout either. Stab the throttle out of the water and that's all. The car runs 10.20's and 60 foot times are 1.39-1.41 depending on the day. I will put new ones on for next season but I'm sure I could probably sneak a 4th year out of them, last pass of this fall was identical in all incrementals to the first pass I made in the spring. They would still be perfect for the average 11 second car. You'll never go wrong with that tire!!

Here is my direct experience after running M/T 29.5 x 10.5 -15' for 10 plus years as that is what was on the car when bought back in '99 so I always stayed with that tire, in 2009 on a Wednesday night track I went out with the usual M/T drag bias tires on the car and ran a usual 10.73 @ 126. Then went back to the trailer and bolted on a set of Hoosier 30 x 9 -15's C06 radials set the air at 18psi (no tube) that a friend had taken off a car he just bought and didn't want and ran 10.51 @ 129 45 minutes later. Car is a '68 road runner with cal traks, stock leafs and a 4.10 gear. In 2013 I sold the car and just bought it back 2 months ago, Car now has split mono leafs, double adjustable shocks on back and single adjustable shocks on the front so looking forward to getting it out again soon as that has helped get it in the teens I am told.

Keith, what did your engine speed do when you went from bias to radial.
Trap rpm.

Trap rpm. From what I remember it dropped slightly about 100 as the radials are just a tad taller, I shifted at 6500 and I think was 6400 in the lights.
