How are they on the street? On the strip? Thanks.

I used them for last 13-14yrs. Used 8 ply due to running roots blower with 440 in a B-body. No problems with them, drove to track made passes & drove home.

i have them. bought the 8 ply. handle good on the street. good on the strip too with wheelstands. they get flat spots after sitting for a while, but smooth out quickley. i put my ride on stands for the winter. stay safe, seeya.

Those of you that have used them, do you find the measurements are accurate? Specifically the height. Not trying to jack the thread, thought it might be a pertinent question.

i checked the circumference cold, 1/16" difference. seeya.

I don't care for them. I bought several sets - both 4 and 8 ply - and ended up going to the 185/80/15 Radials. 8 ply rode like rocks. Tread is round like a motorcycle tire, so the center 2 tread would be gone with the rest of the tread fine. And no, it wasn't an alignment issue - radials wear fine. I ended up going to the radial fronts and Drag Radials and love the ride and handling.

I have a set in the garage.Bought them almost new.Had them on the 65 and it was all over the road.Even at the track it was a nightmare.I had the alingment set close to factory with them.Put them on my kids 62 300 and the same thing.Put 165 15 Radials on my 65 and it was great.Redid the alingment later for more caster.My kid ran them for 2 days then put his radials back on.Ill never even think of using them again.Rocky

Mine say 26 on the side but measure out to 24.5. About the same size as a 165/15 radial.
