Rear Tire selection

(1/16) > >>

codysisson:
I am running a 180", 1300#, 360CI small block on alcohol. Rear gear is 4.57, Glide, Engine dynos @ 540HP. I want to run a 31" Good Year tire but all I can find is a 12" wide tire. Right now i am running  a 10.5 wide tire.

I have to buy a set of rims so I have a spare set of tires but I wanted to find out from you folks if you thought a 12" was too much meat.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I am running 13x31x15 D5 Goodyear Eagle with a 700 hp motor. I would say 12" is not to much.
Very nice car

slingshot383:
The 10.5's are a nice tire, there isn't a need to overtire a fed.

Beautiful car, nice 8). The lighting effect with the shop makes for a great shot.
What events are you planning to hit?
thanks and good luck

George:
On our car with the 355 injected engine the Goodyear 2585 was the best tire I ran. A 12" tire on a 12" wheel.
