Need 2 x sec / hand 28 x 8.5 rear slick's
mike64 - September 8th, 2013 at 10:24 AM
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...

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,
