    Hello,

    I'm going to be ordering some 28.5 or 29.5 x 10 cheater slicks for my 10" wide wheels.

    Anybody have a section width measurement for some Towel City or Radir cheater slicks on your 10" wheels? I'm narrowing my housing tomorrow and have calculated for the daily street tires but I also want to have a set of cheater slicks for it.

    Thanks

    I already reached out to the nice folks at Towel City and he gave me a range. I'm working with some fairly tight clearance so I was hoping somebody may be able to take a measurement off of their tire.

    nhra stock class start out at 9'' wide. but as they are used and wear, tred becomes 9.5'' or better.
    no nothing about towel or radir wear

    Thanks. I'm just asking if somebody with 10" wheels and 10" Towel City cheater slicks can measure their tires at the widest point.

    I had 10" on 8.5" wheels and sidewalls were the same 10" width as the tread width. I'd expect with another 1.5" wider rim the sidewalls would bulge 3/4" per side. Hope this helps?
