M/T 28 x 10.5 x 15 slick help please

[johnplogii]

Anyone that has 28 x 10.5 x 15 M/T slicks on a 10" rim can you please measure the tread width? All info states 10" tread width. Mine are 10.9-11.0" and I am thinking I may have accidentally got the "W" tires? Thanks in advance.

read the sidewall.. if it says 28-10.50W-15 its a W, otherwise its a normal 10.5.

They do not say "W" on them but they measure at what the "W" tires are supposed to be on M/T's website, that is why I am asking if someone else would measure theirs. Mine measure 11" tread and 13" section width.

Thank you

im pretty sure the W tires are around 11.5-12" TREAD width....it's a big difference in the two. mine measue a little over 10" tread width on my m/t 28x10.5

A friend of mine also measured his and got just under 10 1/4". M/T's website states 10.0 for the 28 x 10.50's and 10.9 for the "W". Mine measure 10.9-11.0 and I have measured them several times. I would not really be concerned but I want to switch to drag radials and I want to get as wide as I can get & have them fit. The 325/50/15 radials state they have a 13.1" section width and that is what my tires measure, but if the measurements are not accurate then the radials could actually be 14-14 1/2" which will be too much. Maybe I should ask if anyone has a 325/50/15 M/T radial on a 10" rim if they could measure the section width. Thanks for all the responses.

I've got a 325 mounted, could get ya that measurement this week, might have a 28-10.5 mounted too . I can tell ya the 325's are such a tight fit I dont think they'll work(for me). I'll be trying a 295 next, as it should fit better.

 

[johnplogii]

Thanks, I appreciate that. If the section is really 13.1 they will work fine. I actually think my slicks may be mismarked since they are an inch wider than two others.

I'm switching to hoosier 325/50 drag radials....ill post up how they fit. They should be only be 0.5in wider than my slicks, which will be fine.

sorry it took forever, didnt have a chance to swing by the shop.

325 on a 10" wheel- right at 13.25" sidewall to sidewall and from my best look it appears 11.5" tread width

28-10.5 slick on a 10" wheel- I got 13" sidewall to sidewall around 10.75" tread
