Bob,
What class car are you planning to use these tires on? Just curious as the
rulebook states that tires other than those listed must have a deviation
granted by the Contest Board. Have you applied for that yet? I do know that
past history has shown that the heavy (14 ply) aircarft tires are unsuited
for general use on the majority of our vehicles.
