Need 2 x sec / hand 28 x 8.5 rear slick's

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.

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 !! 😂😂😂

Thank's Wayne, just let me know.

No testing needed on second tyre 😂 the only impact their going to see is my garage floor 😂 👍

I have a pair, Hoosiers 26x8. I can bring them to Warwick. If you don't find anything local let me know. They are rooted.

Sorry, I didn't read it properly. You want 28".i have 26".

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)

...actually the MT 28 x 9 is 8.7 from memory.

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

Ok, well let me know if you want these ones...

Bring all yr no longer loved Drag items to Warwick

Maybe we can have a small Drag car VW Swap meet

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,

Up there for thinking! Down there for fence dancing! Hey Dave!?
Mike - good hear of some action in the garage! I won't ask about the Kombi!

Hi Mike, I checked at the shop and I have 2x sets of 28" tyres suitable for mock-up only . Ben Ford' old tyres are 28x10.5/15 & the old tyres from my dragster are 28x9.0x15 .....
let me know if you need them . Wayne
