Is there any tyre company that makes a road legal 6"semi-slick to use on a beetle. I think the height is 28" i'm after , quite a tall tyre , not low profile.

Legally, I would say No...
probably the closest legal tyre would be a wet weather racing tyre...
You have to have tread to pump the water away from the road when its raining.....

Thats safety... and thats all I look at in a tyre....
How it goes in the wet!!!

Mc Creary also do em. As long as they are DOT approved they are street leagle.

Forget all the usa well known brands becouse they are to big,but MH in the states has put out a dot tyre for vw's so they can race in sport compact street class. 6,7inch wide by 26 tall .check out cal-look forum . Unless you are making 300 plus horse power 28 is to tall.
