I'm looking at the size/item#6654* For the 10" wide rims. Does anyone think these might be decent for street / AX??? Mostly street. |

Well they DO look pretty good- lotsa rubber on the ground.... Prolly not a good rain tire at all though.

Drag radials are big on soft, flexy sidewalls for maximum twist on launch. Not so good when you want to tackle the corners.

Yeah, those are drag tires...
Soft sidewall, especially compared to performance sports car tires. They'll hook up like crazy in a straight line, but don't expect too much at the turn.... BFG makes a drag tire as well, so does Nitto I think. They look bad ass though. Big ol tahrs, aggressive tread pattern and all that. If you've got a honkin' V8 and are looking for the best 1/4 mile times, that might be the tire. But up the canyon road? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) -Josh2 |

I think those tires are more for "looks" than all out drag racing....as long as the sidewalls don't fold over, I'd say go for it....maybe you can find a shop that sells them and ask for a referance or see if the tires have been reviewed by a magazine |

The 10" 26" tire looks like it would be a 255/55/15 and the 12" would be a about a 45 series tire.
I'm with mueller on this they look to me like street tire. These may be the answer for a large 15" low profile tire the side walls are just 5.5" Bob |
