Default Re: Question about Slicks....

I just purchased a set of Hurst Slicks P225/75 15, they stand about 28" tall and are about 7-8" wide. These are NOS older ones made in Idaho and not in Oregon where the new re-capped ones are made.. Don't know if this makes a difference or not in tire construction but they were reasonably priced and should look great on the car..

These are the 15" recaps 28" tall 7" wide. Really wakes up the look on this little small block 70 SS. Earl

How did the balance out? Is that all of the weight at 3-O'clock?

They required quite a bit of weight to balance. That is two big weights together at 3 O'clock. Earl

Those slicks look great on your cars guys! Those 500's are killer Joe. Wish I still had my set!

I'm glad this topic came about. I wanted to put some of those pie cut cheaters on my recent project. May think twice now.
