Good to see you here!!.........OLDBEET

 

Yeah - gladto see you here. Any chance on a 31" x 8" or 10" wide?

I could eventually use either a 15" or 16" in that size -

Thanks - Tudor

 

Any the 29x 7.5 black or wide white wall

 

there have been several threads revolving around the quality of your and previous owners Hurst label recap cheater slicks

out of round, out of ballance caps on old casings.

can you ***ure us that these issues have been addressed?

 

Sounds like your recapping the same tires that were being done before and pretty close to the sizes that Radir makes.

What about no groove, single groove down the center, and dirt track tread availability?

How about someone making a size to compliment what’s already being made like a narrow 30x6-16 and big 30x10-16 deep pie crust slicks.

I agree with Ryan hang out and answer some questions, your not gona find any place with more core customers than the HAMB, or a quicker way to get the word out on your products good or bad.

 

I would like to hear more information.

 

Thanks for all the responses to my post. For right now the biggest tire I can build is the 30x10, for right now only in 15" rim size but will be building 16" very soon. We will be building that tire in an 8" wide as well, looks like that will be the narrowest in that size 30x8. I will tell you this about quality, it is the most important thing to me and this buisness. We have poured every bit of our life saving into this company. And it will be ours until we are all dead!!! I promise that anyone out there that has had any problems with quality of HURST tires needs to let me know so I can individually handle each situation. I will do all I can to have them happy, and most importantly have my tires on there pride and joy. Since Adams Hot Rod Rubber has been in buisness, I have had only one customer unhappy with my tires, and as soon as we are up and running will be building replacements, "checked and double checked!!!" so to not have any more problems. I can't say enough how bad I want to please everyone out there and word of mouth is #1 to me. Today we had our last inspection on the equipment from the city. So it looks like we can get to buisness next week building tires. Thanks for your intrest and look forward to being #1 in this market. CODY ADAMS

 

The boss man is probably the first guy to make happy

 

Hey Cody, I put those ones, that ya dropped of after the Arlington Drag Reunion, on the Fairlane and have been driving it to work everyday for about a month now and they seem to be working great. Rain or shine, they go down the road real nice. Thanks.

 

Sounds like the 30x8 will be an interesting tire. I hope you can post pics of the different tires soon.

Thanks, Magnus

 

Are these drag racing tires ? ? ? Will they hold to multiple 11:70 p***es, and multiple burn outs ? ? ? I like your sizes, and i have had recaps, but never at over 100 mph and 5500 rpm's. I wanna see some pics of someone that has a drag car with these, If you cap a radial, does that mean they are radials, do you run radials on the front ? ? ? When are some of the skinny 29's gonna be ready, i guess they would look cool while its in the garage if they wont hold up to the abuse. Im just having a hard time buying a 27 in tall slick for car with a bbc, and the 29-30 slicks from summit are to damn wide especially the section width Its not a steam Roller !! ! ! Whats up ? ?

 

These tires are for COMPE***ION use!! HURST recaps have been very sucessfull in circle track racing for years.Edie McCean won the Northwest regional championchip in 1991 with HURST recap tires,Paul Peoples won the SunBelt championchip also in 1991. Both of these cars were late model sportsman stock cars with lots of horsepower. I don't have much info on the drag tires but have seen them in action this summer on a 1963 MAX WEDGE PLYMOUTH that my friend owns and the car has no traction problem and is running 10.90's. When I cap a radial it is still a radial, I have not changed the casing,only applied new tread to it. Depending on the weight you should always run radials all the way around. A small light car can get away with it "under 2500 pounds" I have 29" tall 7" wide in stock $270.00 pair they are capped on UNIROYAL TIGER PAW 235/75/15. Thanks for your time!!!

id like to know how many p***es your friend has made in his '63 and his 60ft times as well as the usage of his car... ie. is it a real Drag Car or something that sees strip use once in awhile?

if the tire is truely a "slick" and built for compe***ion use, it should provide traction like your compe***ors do... because quite frankly, id rather run modern slicks and be competative than do 1/4mi. burnouts once every event so i can look cool.

giving us examples of a dirt tracker when we are looking for drag tires is kinda moot... as you know, different stress's are being exerted onto the tire itself when drag racing.

i would really like to buy from you but i cant burn my money on "kinda sorta's".

thanks for looking

 

In the spirit of TECH WEEK... maybe you could tell us how your process works, a picture of a mold might be kinda cool too.

From what little I know about re-capping, you grind the old tread off and then vulcanize a new tread on, the shape of slicks looks like it would be much harder to do than a regualr tire.

 

looks like my Christmas present is coming early.

 

Will there be whitewall slicks or just blackwall?

The 1963 PLYMOUTH has over two years worth of racing on these tires. I asked him to tell me how many p***es and he could not tell me, but he figures over 30. The car has been consistently running 1.7 60' times with no traction problems, however he has a very stiff leaf spring suspension that reacts well to the stiff sidewalls of these tires. I had my buddy run them on a soft leaf setup and they chattered and wheel hoped very badly. I beleive the tire was getting great traction but the suspension could not react properly. The durometer reading of the compound is 60. Under a hot burnout it drops to the low 50's.
I beleive my tires should compete with anything out on the market as long as the setup ie: TIRES?SUSPENSION?SHOCKS? are all figured properly!! I cant tell you how they are going to react to your car!!! By the way the circle track cars that I was telling you about were asphalt cars, "sorry I did not clarify that", and I beleive a good comparison to a point. These tires are capped with the latest technology in rubber but on p***enger casing.

 

Yes I would love to get on the tech, as soon as I buy a digital camera I will be getting you guys pictures of the operation and how it works. I will be shopping this weekend for the camera so expect a full report very soon!!!
Thanks Cody

 

Any tire with a raised white letter that we capp can be buffed to a whitewall in house. The only problem is every tire manufacturer seems to buff at a different with, some 1 1/2" some 1 7/8". I have yet to find a casing that will buff to a full 3". But we are coming across new styles of GOODYEAR/MICHELIN/UNIROYAL that are showing promise with bigger lettering.
Thanks Cody

 

hey, thanks for the reply

to answer your question: "TIRES?SUSPENSION?SHOCKS?"

iam building a 29 coupe on 32 rails, 396 bbc, PG trans w/ trans brake - should be well into the 10's.

(2500/2800 pnds with driver)
the rear suspension consists of:
9" rear
coil overs
ladder bars
prefer: 29/30" tall slick x 9/10" in width

want to test them? youve got a 32 plymouth race car... what tires is it running?

 

Can you recap a set of worn out wide whites radials. I have access to set of Diamondbacks with wide whites (3"). If I sent them to you, could you do the piecrust groove cheater treatment to them ???

 

Well I am guessing becuase of the light weight of the vehicle, stiff sidewall radial recaps should work great. I wont have my 32 finished until the spring but am running a similar setup, coil overs with DODGE 440 c.i., 4spd. I will be running are 30x10r15 wich are capped on a GOODYEAR WRANGLER RTS 31x10.50r15. I will have pictures on the HAMB next week of the car and tires.
I wish I could say how they are going to work but I would be guessing, and I challenge any other tire manufacturer to be able to give you a straight awnser without guessing.Recap tires were starting to be fased out in July of 1965 becuase of new drag tire technology in compe***ive drag racing. So if your e.t. is most important to you rather than the traditional looks I would go with the latest technology out on the market. Until I have used these tires personally I would be feeding all of you a line. Thanks Cody

 

Monday we well be capping a new set of Coker L78-15 for a kid out of Vancouver WA. It looks like they will go 30" tall maybe 28". We wont know until we have buffed the tire to find out its buffed size. You have to capp the tire within 24 hours after it has been buffed to keep from contamination of the casing.If you can tell me the size first I can get you into the ball park for size of capp but I cant be sure unless we have the tires on hand. But that is exactly what I am always on the search for is wide white radials to recap. So please keep us in mind whenever you see worn out whitewalls. So your awnser to the question is yes, just as long as the tire buffs to the correct size for the mold. Cost off the top of my head for this service would be $225.00 pair. Thanks Cody

 

Must come on like a ***** at the top end.... 1.70 sixty foot times with no traction problems sounds more like a 12.70 car than a 10.90 car.

I'm watching close on this. I stock M/T and Hoosier slicks, but need the traditional look. I plan on running mid to low 11s in my coupe with a well setup suspension.

Someone needs to test these on a hot rod that has a drag race suspension and some horsepower to test them.

Ryan?

 

Cody,

Good information.
Are you having a website created?
Glenn

 

After we get this thing running, "we just started manufacture yesterday" I will be working that out. I will be buying a digital camera this weekend and will be posting alot of pictures next week!!! We have been building some great looking tires the past two days and cant wait to show them to you guy's.

So where is the weather good this time of year??? It looks like I need some sunshine and HORSEPOWER to test these tires!!!

Thanks Cody

 

the South (East and West Coast) are the better climates


Let us know how the L78 conversion goes....
