Re: 13's, 14's vs. 9's , 10's
M&H made an L60-15 that had 10" tread and an M50-15 that had 12" tread and available in a stick-shift and automatic compounds. Both were DOT stamped to meet the rules. These were the predecessors to today's DOT race tires. The 9" slicks were not legal under 1975.

Did we have a 7 Inch Slick back then?
My memory is not what it used to be now!

Some of the East Coast guys like W.A. Lee, found some 7 inchers in a warehouse, and ran them on the heavier wagons. Of course, they were faster than the 9's,...at about 30 psi !
