A bar cut Firestone radial all traction is around 224" and a BFG Power saver can get up to 230" so those would be illegal to.Brandon they are made in China and the 24.5 and the 30.5 are made in India.(For now)that will change.

If your running the light midwest with radial tires its not recommended.The beads have a tendency to crack with radials on.No problem with bias ply tho.The keizer is built to handle all weight and power.We have a set of Keizers on a 13,500 pound Pro Farm tractor with 2200 horse and 4900 pounds of torque and have help up fine.And they weigh 69 pounds.

For Haha!We have a rule that you can only move no more than 200 pounds after scaling!!Years ago we had everything in the back to make it easier driving through the pits.But times have changes so if you think we are doing something wrong why don't you introduce yourself to us and we would be happy to get your approval.By the way move 500 from back to front and tell me how far your draw bar go

Ol George couldn't be more right.Why in the world would you have a minimum tire size of 24.5????Its just like those organizations that have a 24.5 rule and can't run a 20.8.If your getting beat by a smaller tire than put them on!Don't eliminate someone that doesnt want to spend 10 grand on a pair of tires.As far as the rest of the rules I think this is a tech mans nightmare.But guy

Bob Parks put alot of work and money in this tire.He deserves the credit on giving Firestone some competition.Which is needed in this sport.All I will say is the manufacturer sold it to Bruce Doctor in Nebraska.He has been in the tire business for 25 years and didn't want to give up on what Bob started.

For ?????.As for the rubber compound.The early ones had a softer rubber compound which were known to crack in the sidewall which were unable to harden like others.(some tires are like this)Now they have a harder rubber compound in it that is comparable with Firestone as far as durometer test.
Running them uncut would be like running a Firestone Puller 2000 uncut.You will get down the track but..

The new ones are in the process of getting measured and weighed.Changes have been made from the old ones.the reason they are cheaper is that with the new owner,he doesn't feel like he needs to make $5000 a pair.
8 ply and 10 ply available.
If you want pics let me know.Remember they go up $400 Jan 1st.This is not going to be a quarterly increase thing like Firestone has done in the past.
