TIRES
Street-type or drag slick tires, maximum 9-inch tread width. Tires may not be altered from tire manufacturer’s original design or pattern. Size of tire (new) must not exceed 9-inch wide x 30-inch diameter (94-inch circumference). Tires may not exceed 10 inches wide regardless of wear. Front tires must have a full street pattern and must measure a minimum of 4 1/2 inches on ground. Tire tread may not extend outside fender; maximum clearance between side wall and body is 3 inches. Slicks permitted on FWD cars. All-wheel- drive vehicles must have treaded front tires. Recapped/retreaded tires prohibited. See General Regulations 5:1.

They probably should have read it before these cars were even allowed, but that's an another subject.....
