29" FRONT RUNNERS?
« on: October 04, 2012, 11:37:08 PM »
Does anyone make a 29" front runner? I've looked, but can't find any.

To get the gearing I want, I really need the 29's. 30's will raise the car an inch in the rear, and I'm triyng to avoid that.

Thanks in advance!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Why don't you run the Goodyear  28's, they grow about an 1" .  Tony

Tony, that's what I'm running. Maybe I'm just not going fast enough for them to grow!

Thanks Littleliner! I don't know why I couldn't find them, but I sure appreciate it!

Does the disclaimer on the MT tires imply that qualification runs are acceptable?

sorry, I am listening to the WF feed, J

I was talking about the 500MPH lsr tires. I realize the thread says "front runners" but the op also states he wants 29" tires (exact) to work for his gearing. Here is an option to give him what he is looking for.
