I'm surprised that it has taken so long for someone to bring this up!!

(No, I'm not running them on my cars.)

I have seen on many stock class cars, 9" slicks with wear on the sidewall making it a 10.5" tread contact area.

The tread width increase is about .562”. We ran 1909 on 12” wheels and the contact patch never grew past 9.75”
