    Yea, they look like circle track tires of some sort, but I am looking to get a little more specific.. I checked all the major roundy round tire makers, and no dice.

    I like them, and they look like American racers.

    Those things are... huge. Are you planning to put them on the A?

    And is it possible they're just a big slick tire that has been custom grooved? You can get slick tires from circle track suppliers to "roll your own", right?

    Ah Ha!! Now THAT helps...I looked at Goodyear and have found no such critter, but now I know for SURE they are Goodyears, it's all down hill from here.

    Thanks, -Abone.

    PS. Kevin...it is kind of a long story as to why I need to know...IF you were to buy me some cold beers in Joplin this August, maybe I'll tell you...
