I had to do some work on the land this weekend and I was lazy and just tried to see what the the Drag radials would do. They pulled the tractor with no problem.

Hey, is your motor carbed or EFI'ed. Also, did you ever think of beefing up your rearend? Sorry if this seems wierd, but I love suped up 88-98 trucks. Just so you know, I know where a 14 SF rearend is from a 454 SS truck. It has the same bolt pattern as your front tires so you run the beef and still keep your wheels.

Props for the tractor pullin'.

Yea I went the carbed rout. It was easier than trying to get the stock FI to work. I am allways looking to make this thing stronger. How much for you to part with that rear end?

Might be a damn good marketing campaign for them in the near future though!!! See, we told you these were street tires.

The drag radials may handle it but it would be tricky with ET Streets.
