Brian:
Thanks for the links. Yes, the tire SIZES are designated the same but not
the diameters. Compare the two lists you provided, and you will see that 4
of the 6 LSR tires have the EXACT same tire sizes as the drag tires.
However, the overall tire diameters are slightly different by about .100 to
.300 which probably is caused by the difference in construction. The other
two sizes obviously use separate LSR molds.
Ken Smith, thanks for further clarifying about the part number being molded
in the side wall. As Ken says, seeing "Frontrunner" on the sidewall means
nothing. The part number tells you if it is a LSR tire. Don't assume all
LSR Frontrunners are drag tires. A few may be, but most are real "made for
LSR" Frontrunners. -Elon

Brian asked: If they used the same molds wouldn't the dimensions be the same?
