I need some feedback on the Super tire sizes that would be most popular. I already told Nick that the AFX .474 size is a popular size.

I agree with the AFX .474, and how about 4 gear .510. Maybe look at the current classes and legal tire sizes we run?

Thanks for the input Dave. I will make note of the .510 size. I do not know if he makes that size but I will check.

That is great news on the sponsorship Dave. I have never used the Super Tires....can they be stretched over a larger rim? I notice that they have a .510 tire, but it measures .510 on the larger rim. I have not found a lot of large diameter tires out there for the 4 gear TF. Two sizes I would like to see would be the AFX490 (.490 on a .250 rim) and the TOMY458 (.458 on a .250 rim). The .490 stretched over a 4 gear rim would make it roughly .570 - .580. Thanks Dave and to your sponsors as well. It's great to have another tire source....don't know how I have missed them?? They have been added to my HO bookmarks. I will be sending them some money soon  |

Thanks for the input. I am keeping track of the input and I will see which tires are the most popular. I will be limited on the amount of different tires I will be able to get.

I will be sending them some money soon The .510 tire is made for the larger rim and it fits the dragster rim but the final measurement is .510 not the .570-.580 that the dragster tire measures. |

Yes Dave I am aware that the .510 measures .510 on the 4g rim. I think that is Super Tires replacement for the stock 4g tire which measures .510 - .515. The stock 4g dragster tire actually measures around .620 but is hard rubber and useless to me. There are no larger diameter replacement tires out there for the 4g rim. I run a larger tire on some of my hotter 4g builds, so what I do is stretch various size Jel Claw and Jags "S" series tires over the 4g rims to get the diameter I want. I am not familiar with the Supertires so my question was........Can the Supertires be stretched over a larger diameter rim? If so.....then the AFX490 (.490) tires that are made for a smaller rim would have a diameter of around .570 - .580 when mounted on the 4g rim. I love the size and match up charts on the site. Very helpful. Thanks.

I understand. As luck would have it Nick had sent me a set of .490 tires to test for the last race I held. I stretched them on to a Dragster rim with no trouble. The final dimension was .560. They should work well on a dragster. The width of course is a lot narrower than the dragster version.
