Re: flat top tires?
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.....

Re: flat top tires?
That last picture is what they use to call a cheaper slick it was a recap turning a normal tire in to a slick.Take a look at http://www.cokertire.com/ if its a old style tire they have it.

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.
