Bad1970dust has did some test fitting and 31x10.5ws fit on my 10" rims on the car..I was doing a search and came up with a part# M/T 3068W..I like Hoosiers but didn't see anything in that size..The Mickys also cost more...So...If ya use M/Ts...How do you like them?? Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

They are that good.

Well, when I ran the 30x9 Hoosier radials on the 64 everyone said they would wear out faster too but I got a good 2 years out of them and I was at quite a few events and I was not easy on them for sure . They also hooked everywhere I went with that car so no issues there either. We will see what happens with the bigger radial but that may not be until next year by the time I wear the current M/T's out. Russ

Get over 150 passes on them and my 60 foot never goes away, I ran them till I showed cords and they still hooked. Exactly what Keith said. My sig pic was pass #2 on the current set. I go through about 2 sets per year, but I run around 300 passes per year and I don't have any mercy on them in the burn out box. I run the 11.5 X 29.5. The last set I pulled off had the cord starting to show and 60' was still 1.391. Brian Dunnigan 6545636-drags5-30023w.jpg (36 downloads)

Someone must have opened up the 1/4's a little in the past? Mike's 64 can only fit a 29.5x10.5W. His is also on a 10" rim.
