Glen,

I searched through the Goodyear Eagle Frontrunner material
(Boeing web sites says they are running a pro stock one of these)
(and other drag front tire sites) and didn't find anything 
under a 15 inch rim.  I will drop Simon an email.

Thanks!

Jim.

Jim
Have you looked into the small drag race tires and wheels ran a few years
back. They might be what you want. A racer in Washington state has a small
front on his streamliner motorcycle.His name is Simon-Pierre Smith.
simon-pierre smith@pss.boeing.com
I think this is still a good address. try it.Make sure you type out the
whole name as shown.
If no good I might be able to get a phone number for you.
