I believe he's speaking of the old polyester tires that had no bulging sidewalls something like a old polyester semi truck tire, square/flat top and sides..... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...lies/shrug.gif

Yall look up these bias ply tire sizes:
N-50-15
L-60-15
These are most likely what he is refering to.

Re: flat top tires?

So he means wide tires.

Huh, never thought that. I was thinking he meant the cheater slick sytle with the squared off edges as well.
