    Just wondering who is using what?
    Isn't someone coming out with a new one this summer?
    Do some require tubes and not others?
    I may be in the market for some. Depends how I do at the track next time out. I would like to put them on 15 inch rallies.
    Maybe some one will let me borrow a set in Vegas

    Mickey Thompson just came out with their version. You can see them at Jegs here:

    Supposed to be much better than BFG's version. The biggest you can fit is 325/50's on a 70-72 Skylark/GS. Must use 15x10 wheels with 5.5" to 5.625" backspacing. And even still you will probably need to "trim" the top of the wheelwells about 3/8" for proper clearance.

    John,

    I have a set that are pretty worn. But they say the worn tires hook best. I can bring them to Vegas for you to try. I'm planning on Hoosiers this year so won't be using the DR. I might get new wheels for the Hoosiers so you might be able to use the Centerlines with the DR. If no new wheels, you'd have to have them mounted.
