Day 2 tires--- what are you looking for?

[Hemicolt]

I'm saying that alot of the people I talk to today, that have Day 2 cars, are running 8 to 10 inch rims with a tire height 27 to 28 inches tall.
Letting air out of them is not an option for street driving.
When I used to build drag cars we would tend to use a rim a little wide on the 10.5 tire cars. This would put the contact patch dead flat on the track.
I see alot of the old 60 series tires at swap meets with the center wore down and the the outer edges look new. This is from running to wide of a tire on a narrow rim.
But to be honest, I can't say what anyone was doing back in the day. I was born in 69..lol
