Re: Biggest tire non W tire on 15x14 rim

Anyone ??

 

14" to 15" wide tire max depending on the tire of course

 

I run a 10.5 W now and looking to go non W mickey Thompsons and run some small tire stuff because everyone bitches about big tires (33x10.5-15 W),what is the largest tire size will fit on my wheel in a non W ??

 

You can go to Mickey Thompson and Hoosier website and it will show the tires and RIM recommendations.

 

Are you running beadlocks?

How tall of a tire do you want?

Thanks,

No bead locks , but have 8 screws on both sides of wheels, size options ,any size from 28-33 tall just don't want to buy and not fit Thanks

 

For a 10.5" tire, "non-W", I would not go any wider than a 12" rim without beadlocks. On the 14" rim, even with "W" tires, I would suggest doubling the amount of screws you have.

Thanks,

Hi Jason,
My tyre knowledge ranges from little to zero

What is a "non-W" ?

I am also looking for a radial tyre for 15x 14 with a Beadlock rim. If I understood the above posts, could I fit Mickey Thompson P315/60R 15 (30" x 13.5" x 15")

By spreading the tyre over a rim wider than the 8.5"- 11.0", would I lose much in the height. Car is street legal, but built more for the track, it's also an automatic, twin turbo.

Thanks

 

A "non-W" tire just refers to the size designation and the tread width. "W" tire have extra tread width over the designation on the sidewall. This practice started in Super Stock and evolved into "10.5" racing.

Yes, you can run our P315/60R15 ET Street Radial on a 14" wide beadlock, but we recommend this for racing only. You will not lose any height as they are steel belted radials.

Thanks,

Great news & thanks for the advice/fast response

 

Lucky enough tyres were in stock, 2 sets ordered

 

Thank You!

Jason what size tire is everyone running with the 315 drag radial with bead lock and without? Thanks

 

I had the 315 drag radials on my dbl beadlocked 12" wheels for mock up and they fit very nice. Never ran them though.

 

There are some running the P315/60R15 on 14" wide beadlocks (I have also heard some 15"?). Non beadlocks I have seen 12" wide.

Thanks,
