Basically what I'm looking for a is a tire so I can build my car around it. Sounds kinda weird, but that's basically what I'm doing. I'm set on running a pair of the Mickey Thompson S/R 29x18x18 under the rear of my 88 Mustang Notch. To do this I have to pretty much back half the car. But, I was wanting to find a worn out/blem/trashed tire so I have the actual physical tire to make sure all placements of frame rails, rear end, shocks, fuel cell, etc are in the right place and will clear. Does this make any sense?

common practice.


try your local drag strip....also local used tire vendors.

There is a guy on ebay that sells old race tires.
