Time For 7" Tires Again?

[Bob Mulry]

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

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

That has happened to me also

Hey Lenny Croteau!
Tell us a story about running 7" tires on the "Yankee Wedge" at Dover Drag Strip.

I guess smaller tires would work for the lower class cars, from what I'm reading here.

I know there are some narrower tires available, but they are shorter. I was thinking in 29 or 30" diameter's to keep gearing and other changes at a minimum, since that's what the 9" tires are.

Are the Coker's being sold for racing; or probably just cosmetic copies that may or may not work?

I believe the tires you reference as Coker's are the 7" M&H tires. They are made by M&H for racing and available from Jegs & Summit. I own a pair and also have seen them in action on some fairly high horsepower nostalgia cars and they work well.
