    man I was just talking about slicks last night with bleed... I love the Radir skinny white wall slicks but they're too short- make them taller and I'll buy a pair, but for now I'm gonna have to run hursts cuzz the back end of my roadster would be sitting in tha' dirt----

    I am interested in the 8.20x15s also. But, I don't want to wait for months. Are they ready to ship now? If I ordered today, when could I expect delivery to KCMO area?

    You obviously have never seen the Radir wheels shop. It's like a Hemi farm up there.

    If anyone buying a set is within reasonable driving distance, pick the tires up in person, the place is awesome.

    I have a set of 8.20-15s on 15x10 tri-ribs. The wheels are bar-none, the best made wheels I have ever seen, and the tires obviously already have a great rep.

    Jason, Cory, I think the market is big enough for both of you. It sounds like neither one of you can keep up with demand.

    Here's my new Hursts - installed on my '62 Dart... (28 3/4"x8.5"x15 White Walls)

    Took Cody exactly 5 days to get them to me - half way accross the country. They look beautiful and run out great. 7.5oz to balance one and 4.25 oz to balance the other - not too bad for the cheats I remember from 25 years ago.

    They stick pretty good when I really got 'em hot - Just ran 11.90 @ 118.7mph driving in off the street through the muffs and tailpipes! Freaked the dudes out at the strip, man - the "tuner" geeks didn't know what to think and the old guys just folded their arms and shook their heads yes in approval. I'm very pleased.

    Thanks Cody

    80% of the "gators" you see along the road are a result of low air pressure which damages the casing and overheats the tire. Todays "drivers' almost never bump their tires or put a gauge to them.

    If you see a cap without any casing laying alongside the road, THAT is a cap that failed...and there are darn few.
    That being said, I have a pair of Radirs and I love 'em...but I have 14 retreads on my big truck...some of which have over 350,000 miles on 'em.
     
  6. I got the 10's on 9" rims on my avatar car. Even the 10's need a narrower rim for the middle of the tread to contact the road correctly, but they look fine. So, I can't imagine the 8.20's on an 8" rim. HOWEVER, i drove 500 miles round trip to Paso last year nice and smooth, and a half bazillion BS miles since. Thumbs up. PS-If ever considering the Firestone "cheaters" from Coker....DON'T
     
  7. Now that just fucking ROCKS!

    What size would you guys reccomend sticking under my 64 cutlass? looking for a nice tall tire nothing to massive. Would a 10" rim fit under there?

    Me, I'm getting a pair tomorrow, coming down from New Jersey to the TRR. I'm gonna put 'em on the Packford and see if I can't get her into the 12s......ha, ha.

    Glenn, when are you going to the TRR?

    I have a set of the 10 inchers. Got em on 10 inch wheels. I love them but I dont really need them. I mean, my car isnt a race car so I just have them for looks. Wanna buy em?

    As I said before, I have 10.00 Radirs on 10 inch ETIII wheels. Now that I have put some miles on them I can say that I am happy with them and would use them again. But like Groucho suggested, if I had it to do over again, I would have used a narrower wheel.
