Well, I just got off the phone with Tom, an engineer at M&H Tires (Interco).
After speaking with him about the above pictured Nostalgia Slick, it sounds like it is a perfect fit for my application, and others as well.

The Nostalgia Slick is 31.83 inches tall, has a 12" wide contact patch, and will mount on any wheel between 8-12" wide!
It is rated to go over 250 mph's!
IMO, This is the "PEFRECT" Truck Drag Slick! and is also M&H's recommendation for truck use.
Why is this the perfect Truck Drag Slick? Glad you asked

It is constructed with several beneficial characteristics for Truck use.
1. The side walls are stiffer than the average Drag Slick which allows the tire to handle the weight of a truck during launch (i.e. weight transfer), as most trucks are considerably heavier than a typical 1/4miler.
2. The Compound used on this Slick is softer than the typical Drag Slick, which really helps our light in the *** trucks hook up!
3. In addition, these tires can be air'd down to 7psi (at 250+ mph), for a wrinkle wall effect and added traction if needed. However, they can also be run at standard air pressures.
4. This is the tire that M&H recommends for for the Desiel crowd as they are able to handle the very high torque these powertrains put down.
5. They can and are used in a 4 wheel configuration as well.

Looks like I know what I'm getting

What kind of price did you find on them? Any discount on multiple sets?
