im looking to purchase a set of 14.9x28's on blank steal rims to get away from the weight of the power adjust. they look to be about 70-80% with new tubes and they are also cut.. should i stay clear of cut tires with a stock wd45 for pulling.
thanks ------------- if farming was easy everybody would be doing it |

| Check yours rules because around here if you have cut tires you can't pull in the farm stock class,you will be pulling your stock WD against the big boys. |

| The topcuts will definatly tell you what kind of engine you have in the heavier classes. We run 38inch wheels, I know for a fact that if you topcut 38's you better have some motor. Our club allows topcuts and they do help with grip on a harder track. |

How do you cut tires? I have one that's out of round, I'd like to see if I could true it up. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

| A power wood planer does wonders Dusty, just make sure it has sharp blades in it. I have a Bosch just for cutting tires, pretty hard to beat, especially if you have ever done it with a grinder. |

| I know right where you live Dusty, at the end of Doane HWY, just down the road from Dills. I'm living in Holt now, but give me a shout, I still get out to the old neighborhood quite often, and would be glad to help you out. |
