Dave, Thanks for the "Thanks" about Hayden Wheels.
Are you burning alky ? And what tire pressures are going to start with on your M/T's ?
I have a set too, for our B/ND, but have not tried them, yet. Planning on testing them this month at the Div 7 race in Sonoma.

Yep alky
Shopping for a trailer right this minute hope to be out testing in a few weeks.
John at Cenpen has run those tire for years and would have a better idea about pressures than I do--I am guessing maybe 5 1/2 range to start IIRc that was Johns starting point.
I will say I got two tires that were exact on rollout--Western Distributors is pretty much the east coast big gun when it comes to MT sales/inventory--super professionals--the manager ofthe local whse gave me a smoking deal on mine--
The wheels are beautiful! I can't wait to hang them in the air.

Dave,

  Let me know when you are taking her out. I might be able to run over to track and see how it does first shot.

Are these "Fast Guys" running them on 1430 lb FED , and going 180-190 mph ?
 I would like to talk to any FED using 10.5 tires.
I know beside 10.5 classes there are door cars running well on the 10.5's.

Thanx,
Jon

That's interesting since those cars run 3 speeds, and as far as I know, they run 33x12x15 Hoosiers or GoodYear.
One thing to keep in mind is the 10.5's have stiff sidewalls, thus they don't grow, so mph will be down.

I'll let you know how they work, Dean Carter is thinking of testing them also, in Sonoma.
