McCreary American Racer tires

[MOBS]

Well, you could always get a pair(they ARE cheap after all)....just use them as redlight runners!!! or convert your drag car into a circuit car and run a set of 4 and use on the backroads

Well.....I don't think I'll start the conversion just yet.

 

[MOBS]

Yeah, my yellow one will one day be converted to a road circuit car....but street legal(barely).

 

[Wagonbacker9]

Hah... my car isn't "street legal" per se now...

 

[MOBS]

Well....when I say street legal....I really mean street "ready"....meaning it's safe to drive on the street....I guess it'd be street legal in the early 20th century prolly.

They came in today, and are in EXCELLENT shape........just an fyi, as I seemingly wasn't thinking when I bought them, but they are tube tires....the correct tubes(and dont get off ebay) are GR13/14/15 if you're gonna do like me and use mostly for looks on a couple vintage racers for shows. Those tubes are for multiple sizes(translated: passenger tire tubes, NOT race tubes), and are like 8 bucks each on summit. Shipping for 8 tubes was 10 bucks.

when we mount slicks at work. we don't use tubes in em. get some dawn liquid soap and coat the entire in side of the tire and run em tubeless. did a set for the boss 2 years ago and they still haven't lost any air.

Yeah I just got off the phone with mccreary and they said they are tubeless tires, but they're required to stamp tube-type on them(for a reason unknown to me).

I was just gonna coat the beads with paint-on sealant....like you'd use to seal up rims with rough/sanded beads.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

tube-type = non-DOT I'd imagine..

 

[MOBS]

Yeah you'd think, but they're clearly stamped DOT-compliant.....
