Older 18" Mickey Thompson Rear Tire or Tires

[jww36]

Recently bought an older set of 18" rear mickey Thompson tires and cut one after first run. Need a replacement or will buy the pair if you have a good set of older Mickeys.
Thanks,

John this probably won't help you but it might be of interest to others....

We run Mickey Thompson Bonneville tires at Bonneville & Dunlop tires at El Mirage because of the likelihood of cutting a tire at the lake bed. The Dunlop tire is a bit tougher than the Mickey. As a matter of fact we have a couple of "light cuts" in our Dunlops that would have ruined our Mickey's. Dunlop makes a 30" & a 32" tire useing the same type 18" wheel as the 30" Mickey Thompson does.
The Dunlops have been run over 250 mph at El Mirage if that's a concern.

Thanks for that info. Where do you purchase the Dunlops?

[Dynoroom]

Roger Kraus Racing Ent. Castro Valley Ca. 510-582-5031.

All his information is listed in the SCTA Rule Book.

Check out his tire shaving service or contact Nate Jones @ Cowboy Tire (also in the rule book) for shaving.

The last time I was at Nate .Jjones, Cowboy tire, he had a set of 30" tires that a customer defaulted on, try him.

I did not shave my 32" Dunlops, I only knocked down the edge. They've been 216. Good luck..

So is mine. But, I digress.    Wayno

Thanks Michael. It's been one long build. Now we gotta get it to speed.

Dan, I will give Nate a call. Thanks

I would still take a single 30" M/T tire if one becomes available.
