I knew you wanted to be a small tire guy all along




next step will be a smallblock i gues since i think thats what he always wanted

more seriously that will be very cool if you can get a handle on the power on the 10.5īs that kind of racing is crazy and i think you may just have made it even more crazy

crazy is always good!

You guys that don't know..WAAYYYY, underestimate this tire. It is an awesome tire that works great. Brad Personet, recently strapped some 10.5s on the back of his NHRA, national event winning, twin turbo HEMI Pro-Mod and promptly went in the 5 sec zone. I think Jimmy will be fine.

The tire is very stable at speed...it's just all about power management early

Could not have said that any better. This is why clutch and computer tuners fly all over the country tuning these beasts.

Nice work, Jimmy. I'm sure you'll have it covered and find the Dart will like our "tiny" tire..

Did you use tubes? Where did you end up getting them?







Yes it has tubes. A local horsepowersales was nice enough to help out . with the tires.

Small tires look better to me and would look awesome on your car but something seems off in the backspacing. Tire needs to come out closer to the wheel lip or something??

Best of luck with it.
I have seen 10.5 guys lay down some amazing laps , so it can be done.
I was spectating at an 1/8th mile track outside Houston and the big problem for some of those guys wasn't hooking...........it was getting stopped.
I'll be looking forward to some quality video.

Another pic just for tire comparison.

Good luck Jimmy, I'm sure you'll figure out how to get them to work.

That Puddin video is hilarious!

It's not worth spending 3 grand on new wheels and the car was built for wider tires.

It would need a whole new rear housing and that's not happening.

Hey Jimmy, Tommy and I are taking the Duster to PBIR also. Maybe we can pit together. We'll have to make a plan.
