[DeTomaso] Maximum Tire Height

[Dan Courtney]

Thanks Michael, I'll check into these.
I'll have to see if Silver State will accept them though, I believe they have a restriction on slicks.

  Goodyear Can-Am slicks that have been grooved.  23x10.5x15 = 23.4" tall, 10.4" wide on a 15x10 wheel.  27x14x15 translate the same except these were usually mounted on a 17' wide wheel and had the sidewall sloping in toward the tread.  These are regularly mounted
  on 13 & 14" wheels. 
   
  Hoosier makes Can-Am Porsche tires for 10 and 13" wide 15s.  23.8 and 25" tall.  Get the grooved.  Avon make some too.
  I will choose something from this lot soon as the Yokos are OK on GT5 flares but too short on a Gp4 car.  The flares are
  quite different you know. Again, like at Sasco Motorsports or Roger Kraus racing.  Evidently there are many people running around
  some of their grooved slicks without problems even if they won't say it in so many words.
