Isn't there in issue with fitting 15" wheels on the back of these trucks, I may be wrong, but I though I saw something about this?

YAh we used them on our car after picking them up for 25 apeice, and they were the same size.. You have to smoke em good but they do get sticky and hook fairly good, for that cheap it is worth the try..

I did several loooooong burnouts on mine and I couldn't tell a difference in the check holes after I had abused them. Mine were asphalt tires so they may have been a harder compound. The Mcrearys that I had were much softer and didn't last any time. I found that the Mcrearys would hook better with around 20 psi in them rather than less. The sidewall is so stiff in them that when you let it down too low the tire would cup up in the center and when I would spin them it would leave two thin black markes off the outer edges of the tire and none in the center.

there are several different compounds and different sidewall stiffness...the tires i got on the softer side and have soft sidewall..they will wrinkle..on my dirt track car i run anywhere from 7 psi to 14..depending on front and back-left and right..i will try 8 psi first
