    anyone have feedback on their tires, good or bad? Heard about them, but not too much. Thanks, Paul.

    I just got the 30x10s, they were $480 shipped, thought that was cheap. Outside appearance not as good as Hurst's, but still very happy for the price. I havent had them on the track yet , but i know they hook up good on the street
     
  3. This is from another thread if this helps at all. I have not yet heard anthing bad about them. They actually make a smooth wall that I really like te looks of myself, I am thinking of running them on my next ride.

    I'm running them on my 29 closed cab. Love them and can't beat the price. If you call with questions talk to the father. Very nice guy and I doubt that there is a combo out there that there tires haven't been on. They can also advise you of compound choices.

    I ran a set of their treaded stock car tires on my OT '68 Impala. I had a nice set of 4 mounted up on 8" Vette wheels and had just sold my race car, so why not use 'em?

    They balanced out well, were quiet up to 90 mph and had tremendous side-bite. They did wear out in 3 weeks though...

    I've got some on my 46 Ford and they do very well. I agree their appearance is not as nice as the Hursts I have on my other car, but these are in the fenders and really doesn't matter. The white walls also are a little off white but I am not real ****. They last a lot longer than the Diamondbacks when you perform burnouts and like to spin the tires. Handle and go down the road just fine. Have a decent guy balance them and you are fine.

    Have a pair on the '31. Use for shows, not much street use & use slicks for racing. Mine are rock hard, good for laying down smoke.

    I have them on my Olds powered Willys Aero. They balanced fine although other issues [not tire related] have kept me from putting many miles on them. Nice people to deal with, I would recommend them.
