if you had a W on there you could turn that beast loose and let it eat.................

They are 29.5/10.5W

I keep losing the post where I asked this. But when people use the term "W" for their tires, what do they mean?

It means the tire is wider than the regular size.

Your kidding, that's all it means? And I was beating myself up over it.

w = cheater tire

That's all it means. A M/T 29.5/10.5-15 is 10.2" wide, a 29.5/10.5S-15 is 10.2" wide (S is stiff wall) and a 29.5/10.5W-15 is 11.2" wide.

So the "W" means its one inch wider?

29.5 10.5w is also a stiffwall.


Nick needs some 8.5" tires so he wont have to be a chickenshit and peddle that turd................I got a set of wheelie bars for sale in the auction block.................

Smaller tire V.S. Bigger tire whats the deal

Isn't the car or truck more stable at higher sppeds with a wider footprint

What am I am not getting

The small tire guys think the bigger tires make your car faster when in reality if you hook the smaller tire ot will be faster. Given a marginal track there may be some advantage. An inch wider tread aint no deal breaker, hell the 8.5" tire guys are faster than a lot of us.

In the end what matters is how many checks your cashin'.

They where 28's.

So are wider tires like 10.5 better or are smaller ones like 8.5 better? I'm getting myself confused.

if you are building a class specific race car ...you need to run what the rules say .... 8.5", 275 dr, 10.5, or a 10.5w etc ........

if you are bracket racing i would run the widest tire the chassis/power will allow .... probably more consist to the everyday br from diff track conditions

just my .02

Thanks Mr.Bruno . Now maybe I'll do better since you clarified that
