Title: Slicks 28" x 9"
Post by: sven on July 22, 2009, 20:01:04 pm
Hi,

I was wondering if their anybody has a pair 28" x 9" slicks that he can bring to SCC, I have now 26"x9" fitted but at +/- 350 meter I'm at my max. rev and fitting larger slicks would be the easiest way, ( thank you  Richie)
The problem is that I don't know if they will fit.
I don't know if anybody knows that 9" in 28 " have the same width as the 26"? if they are wider I need to fit thinner  (8"?)

Thx.
Sven.

Just fro your reference,
my 28x9 Mickey Thompsons are :

8.625 tread,
10.75 across the side wall
28" diameter (no more but probably less with car weight on there)

This is measured off the actual tyre mounted on an 8" rim with 10 psi inside.

At least this way you might have a better idea of what brand to get, and what brand will fit within your car.
