Upon popular request!! WWW Drag radials New product

More and more customers have been asking about drag radials... so we found several models in Mickey Thompson tire that we sell as a redline, whitewall, blue line, and gold line. Here's a pic I took this morning.

These are now available... about $250 each depending on the size. Sizes 235/60R15 - 315/60R15.

Three week delivery from order date,

Are the sizes just those 2, or everything in between those two sizes you have listed on here??

They may not be the most traditional in tread, but to me i dont see that being the issue if they actually hook up like a drag radial does and not just go up in smoke.

 

We also have BFG Drag radials in many sizes. The same tires you currently can purchase from your local tire store. If BFG makes it, we can make a whitewall out of it. ET slick's, you name it. Our process allows us to vulcanize most any modern day radial tire up to 20"

I think I'm with ya poobah...

 

Just stick a fat one on a skinny/narrow wheel!

 

Wouldn't this be a 235/75/15? I think that works out to about 29 tall, no?

 

Im with ya on this one where are the "original" type tires in the "original" type sizes, I surely wish there was a bias street/slick in roughly 235/75/15 size, That would be perfect on my 57 chevy

 

Actually, the dirt track/cheaters I got from Hurst were pretty dead on. Ron found a new Firestone truck tire with larger lettering than most models. Now that I think about it, I'm not 100% sure if it was a radial or bias recap. Either way, if it were like any new radial with raised white letters, it could have been easily cut into a whitewall.

 

What? For real? He had everything going against him: nice guy, good prices, and a good product. I figured his circle track tire biz would have kept him busy and comfortable enough to keep the vintage tires going. That*****s.
How long did your Hursts last?

 

those Hurst slicks were spot on.

These might pass on a full fender, but no way on an open car.

"Hurst Racing Tires" under new ownership, they are back in production NOW!............OLDBEET

 

that tread pattern on a white wall kills it for me

 

Why can't somebody build one that I woudl feel safe running on a drag car? I don't want recaps throwing a cap at 125.


I HATE the tread pattern. That is almost as bad as the checkered flags.

I understand that nobody wants to tool up for such a small percentage of the population, but come on....I know there is a demand for a tire with the right look.

 

I like em. I'd run em on my car in a second. But, all you'd see of them on my car is half of that whitewall peeking out from behind the fender skirt. If they'll hook, then it's a winner.

From what I've heard those pie crust whitewalls slicks that are recapped don't hook for*****, which kinda defeats the purpose of using a slick in the first place. They do look good though. If we could get a pie crust whitewall slick that actually hooks, then it'd be a winner

 

I too 'am nervous about my Hurst re-cap slicks at speed, especially since they are near impossible to get in balance, and are out-of-round.

I love the looks of them, but a new radial 'piecrust' would be great.

 

Where can I order these tires?!

 

Or you could try Diamondback Tires?
