In Need of Tires
I'm in search of a tire they no longer make. Mickey Thompson ET Drag 20x6x14 or 20x8x14.
New or Used. They just need to be round and have a little rubber left on them. The set I am running is to the cords. Didn't expect to go that many rounds this past weekend. Hoping someone has a set sitting around somewhere. Thanks

Re: In Need of Tires
I think they're long gone. I think Avon makes a 19" road race tire. I ended up going to the 22" M/T on the Turismo. Car doesn't have near enough gear in it for that.

Re: In Need of Tires
Believe it or not I think I have a friend who bought a brand new set of the 8"? Years ago and has stored them out of the sun. I bet they are around 10 years old but never mounted. If you are interested let me know and I'll ask him if he wants to sell

Re: In Need of Tires
Had many sets of the 20x8x14 from the Cadillac days and even ran them on the SRT Neon, but they are long gone. I have one set still mounted but are hard as a rock and are falling apart. I would give them to you but I wouldn't want to be responsible for a horrible 75 mph top end crash when the came apart on you! Jim
P.S. Billy is correct about American Racer tires. Harry Morgan runs them. They make a 20X8X13 that are great drag tires.Listed under Sports Car/ Auto Cross tires. http://www.americanraceronline.com/ .
