The Nostalgia is built to handle it, read first post.

I asked Tom about Slick Walk, he's never heard of it, as I've not either, however, I understand the dynamics of a very flexible side wall and low psi, however, this seems not to be the condition referenced, rather, the largish front tires staying planted while the rears do their thing.
Not only am I familiar with this in a 4 wheel application, but a 2 wheel as well.
I'm just not sure what Slick Walk used to be called so I can link up the two terminologies.

Anyway, what did I just say and what good was it? I don't know

I run heavy duty tubes in mine with no trouble. I have over 100 100+ MPH 1/4 mile passes on my M&H tires with rock solid stability at a 7,300 pound raceweight.

I would not be concerned if you make your rim, tire and tube choices carefully.

Ok I know I'm digging some ooooooold $hit up from the dead but has anyone ever used these slicks on a gasser. If so what wheel, with what backspacing, how did they hook, and some pics would be awesome.

I run racemasters, 1.5 sixty foot wit 130ish et, just sayin.

I have these on some custom made steel wheels(all that was available at the time). These 16" wheels just clear my brakes by a hair. Offset may be different for my Avalanche due to the outboard shocks. Unfortunately they haven't made it to the track yet due to all the trans issues I've had. Stay tuned...just getting the roll bar done.

They are a tall tire, but look tiny in this pic before I dropped the rear of the Av.

They look like they tuck pretty well on your Avalanche. I'm not sure how good of a comparison it would be to my truck with the suspension differences like you said. Also I have a feeling your style Avalanche with the flared out wheel wells is a little wider than my 2005 Silverado.

I know it's a taller tire. I plan on running a 305/50/R20 on the street and these won't be too much shorter. I only have a 2" drop shackle on my truck so I could probably get away with a tire that doesn't fully tuck. I just don't want something that's going to stick out to far.

Hopefully someone has some pics of them on a NBS Silverado.

You got any pics with what size tire, what wheel, and what kind of truck?

They do stick out a touch... wouldn't clear the sheet metal if the truck sat that low. But they are just about touching the upper part of the shocks, so couldn't go in any further. Tread is 11.5" wide. Height is about the same as my Nitto street tires.

What size are those on the avalanche DrX?
