Firestone Dragster Cheater Slick, Blackwall, 820-15

This Firestone Dragster Cheater Slick, blackwall, sized 8.20-15, is aimed at nostalgia drag cars, hot rodders, and rat-rod builds wanting the look of an early '60s-style dragster or gasser. Construction and approval Siping is kept light enough to carry DOT approval while preserving the vintage drag-slick look, and the tire uses a four-ply polyester bias-ply casing suited to street or strip driving. Coker Tire produces it from new molds cast off the original Firestone drawings, so the tread and sidewall styling follow the vintage pattern, and it pairs well with Firestone Deluxe Champion bias-ply tires up front. A whitewall version of this same tire is offered for builders who want that look instead, and it is manufactured in the USA. Measurements Overall diameter: 30.50 in. Tread width: 8.50 in. Cross-section: 10.70 in. Max load capacity: 1920 lb at 32 psi Suggested rim width: 7.00-8.00 in. Tube type: tubeless Because this is a bias-ply casing rather than a modern radial, expect a different ride and handling feel on the street, which is part of the appeal on a period-correct build but worth knowing before a first drive.
