I will keep this updated . I also found that they balance great . The only guy I know running them said that one took no weight and the other was less than an once to balance . My last set with tubes needed a lot of weight to get one of them right . I have been buying them from a local 5.80 guy with 20 passes on them and would have bought another set but he didn't have any avalible .

Super73,
The 29.5x10.5 should work fine on a 12" wheel. We stretch the 275 pros onto a 12" wheel all the time, and they seem to prefer the wider wheel. Of course I would default to the manufacturer suggested wheel width until others have shown the wider wheel works with this tire as well.

I have 15 x 10 wheels just FYI . I have also heard that they really like air pressure . My buddies car is a 68-72 Nova , sbc , glide , leaf spring car . It is heavier than me @ 3200 and he is set up like a stocker with a 30 x 9 radial slick . He swapped to the 28 x 9 PBR on an 8 " wheel and his last pass he had 31# in the rears . He is a bit slower than me at 7.0X and I run 6.80's on motor and im currently @ 2840 for super street . M/t says start at 15 # and work up till it spins and back off . He says he cant make them spin at 31# , but with less weight and more tire it makes sence i'll be at lower pressure . First pass will be at 20# . They should be in today and I have already fitted the rims with good metal stems . Update coming .
