Default Are Toyo slicks available yet?

Anyone have these?
I want to run the 25 x 9 x 15 tires for SFWD, but haven't seen much about them yet. I don't even know where to buy them.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to run them? Do you have reason to believe they're better than what's available from MT or M&H?

I'll let the guys from MazworX tell ya about these. I think they might still have a set for sale too. Lets just stay stiff sides = broken parts.

Well, the size is appealing because the rollout and tread width is bigger than the M/T 24.5 x 8 x 15 but it's still legal for SFWD. I run 26's on my car now, and I don't own 13" wheels.
I'd just switch to these tires and be legal for both NOPI and NHRA if they're any good. I was interested if they were actually a decent tire to even consider them.

I just can't justify selling my sweet looking Holeshot wheels just to get 13's and be able to run the M&H's. Now if M&H had a 25 x 9 x 15 tire, I'd more likely go with them, because I know their tires.

I haven't even gone down the track with the Holeshot wheels yet, they're so new.

We tested a set and stiff sidewall is correct!
