I have 2 brand new 14" Silverstones, and I am looking for 2 15" tires, the 205 size, they can be used, prefer Michelin, but will take what ever. I need 2 more tires for Doo Wops

I also have 2 15" Michelins in the smaller size (185 I think) that I could trade for the larger size

Sean, the Michelins use a different notational system which reads like 15/65 x 15 which is 15cm at tread contact, 65 cm tall and 15" wheel.
I believe you want 15/65 x 15

Look on the smaller ones and see if they say 14/62 x 15..

Oh and re swapping cams: why not shove in a stock cam?

Yes need the 15/65 15, have 2 14/62/15's

I don't have a complete stock cam and sliders, I do have a ranger roller. I don't think I will change it before Doo Wops though, really don't like to make major changes this close. What I have has been running for 5,000 miles

FAWK, it's maybe an hour to change.
I'm sure I have some here.....
The reports i got was boost came on late and hard, and tire wear was bad.
We're trying to make this pull and hook up.
