***36/16-24 drag slick who makes these????***

[altoids]

Who the hell makes this damn tire and how much they go for? I've searched everywhere on Google and came up with zilch. These fuckers are brand new. Any help is appreciated.

Where did those come from? The patent on the sidewall comes up with a patent listing for a low profile drag slick, and the applicants names, but nothing linking to an identifiable company or tire brand. The application was from 1991. Those may be a prototype or made in a very small production run if the company had a short lifespan.

I bought them off a guy on FB market place mainly for the wheels. I looked everywhere trying to find out anything about the tires. They've never been ran that's for sure. Defint low pro for a Top Fuel slick.

I’m thinking they are a limited release from Mickey Thompson

The patent listing has no named ties to M/T, and the brand lettering is different, so I don't think there's any connection.

Is there a date code on the sidewall somewhere? I would suspect it would be in the early 1990s.

The names and address on the patent come back to a company called Torque-Man Tire, Inc. Which would be consistent with the TM lettering on the sidewall.

Helps to see the front page of the patent. Google Patents was missing a few pages. Now I want to know more about this company.

Don’t hate on the nerds. @altoids asked for help with who made these tires. @Fabrik8 and I were just doing our due diligence. But I also agree...we need smokey burnouts!

Oh I’m not hating “fully” just trying to get to the “real important” stuff like, well, burnouts. Lol
