I haven't looked up the size's as yet, I think it's 8.5 wide, maybe 8?

If anyone know's of a pr, they can be as ratty as, I just need them for mock up of the new rear end changeover.

Can organise pick up from wherever or Warwick

Cheer's Mike.

Now... what was I doing again 🤪 🤪

We took the old pair of 28x8" slicks that came off the rear of Ben Ford' supercharged bug and through them out on the tyre disposal pile . I dont think they have been collected yet , so will have a look when I go into the shop today (more dragster prep) . Wayne

PS: the right one has been properly impact tested against the wall at Warwick , so I can give warranty on this one .... the left one however , no warranty !! 😂😂😂

Not sure anyone makes a 28 x 8 8.5 anymore.
Only 28 x 9 or 28 x 10

26 x 8 or 8,5 is the normal size people use N/A(or skinnier)

Thank's Mick, I may end up using 26 8s, but want to make enough room for 28s if I need this size.

Thank's Dave, not real sure just yet of final size, the output of the 2.8 would help I know, but it's not complete yet.

The 2.4 will only be in the car to help set things up n get it on the track a bit sooner ( god knows its taking long enough ) if your right the 26 maybe used, but I want to make a bit of extra room under there if I need a bigger tyre,
