Re: Time For 7" Tires Again?
 

How about calling Casler or Bruce's and get some re-caps or go big bucks and get Atlas Bucrons??????

Re: Time For 7" Tires Again?
 

yeah right 7 inch tires on todays stockers, what could possibly happen

Re: Time For 7" Tires Again?
 

I don't have a Stocker, so it's none of my business. But, I wonder what would be the point? Wider tires are safer on these fast Stockers we have now.

Re: Time For 7" Tires Again?
 

Atlas Bucrons !!!!! That was a while back. For it's day, 3.5 or 4 " wide and didn't live long. Who else remembers them?

Re: Time For 7" Tires Again?
 

bucrons were first tires we ran back in 65. I remember , most heavy hitters used them, they were soft, for their time was a good drag tire. chevron stations had them is stock , lol. BTW , you could run em white walls or black walls, lol

We are old Jeff! LOL. Atlas Bucrons are what I started on. I latervran the 7" Firestone slicks on 4" wheels. Keystone gave 4 wheels to class winners at the Spring Nationals, at the old Dallas track (actually in Lewisville) one year. Giving everybody two 4" for the front, two 6" for the rear. I got four 4", those Firestones hooked harder on 4" wheels. The local Firestone race tire sales guy (John Calb) just shook his head when he mounted them.
They wrinkled so bad they pinched the tubes. Got tired of patching tubes, and ran them tubeless. About a MPH faster tubeless anyway.
Good old days. LOL

We didn't need a tach with those 7" tires......you shift when the car was going straight.

Re: Time For 7" Tires Again?
 

M&H makes a Vintage Drag Slick with 7" tread. 88" circumference would make it 28" tall.

Jegs/Summit also stock these. They work too!

Re: Time For 7" Tires Again?
 

And don't forget the M & H 120 and 140 compound tires.....

8 PSI on a 4" rim with an 8" long footprint...

The only problem was going though the lights with the rear end wagging like a dogs tail......BUT don't touch the steering wheel to try and fix it, because the rear tires are going straight it's the rim moving from side to side inside the tires...

Just sayin'

PS:
I still can't figure out how I managed to get old??????
