I talked to M/T the other day and they told me they are working on develping a 28" ET Street tire for a 16" rim. They told me to look for them next summer.
I think we should all pick up the phone and call them, the more calls they get maybee they will get off their *** and build them earlier.

TTT

 

Just called and I think I talked to a Mark? He said they are having a develop meeting next week and will be discussing this...
Everyone needs to call in.
We need a 28/29" x11.5x16 et streets
Those 16" wheels are sooo much cheaper and easier than custom 15" wheels.

 

wouldn't it be best to ask for a Et Drag that fits the 16" wheel?

 

I called the east coast office and talked with some guy . he said they have to be able to sell at least a 1000 tires to make them . i told him that i didnt think 500 sets would be that difficult to sell considering that there are like 15000 lightnings around . After i told him guys were buying custom made 15inch wheels for 300 a piece just to run 28 inch et streets he seemed a bit more interested . come on lets all call and bug them

Thanks for calling, lets keep buggin them.

 

mickey died.

 

i called the west coast office and the guy said to make them they would have to sell 100 ! i told him no problem lets see them made!!

 

I'm calling tomorrow, would love some 28x11.5x16 " ET drags for my L

Ask Totaled about some great 60' times on his 15 " ET Drags..

 

I'll also make a call tomorrow at lunch time

 

what about a group buy . that way they would have an idea of the interest, and maybe a better price.
try to get to build an 17 or 18 in one if thakes only 100. lots of wheels for them then.

 

why would you want a 17 or 18 inch? that means less side wall . we want more not less . we need a 28 x11.5 16 that way we dont need to spend big bucks for custom wheels and shave our calipers.

 

...converting over to rear drum brakes from a F-150 will also allow the choice of ANY 15 inch wheel you want...even some BOGART's, or WELDS etc....

 

Maybe those Mickey Thompson folks should log onto this site......... What ya think???

 

i asked them to.
