    anyone still making a 7 inch wide slick on a 7.50 x 16 carcus?

    looking for a narrow bias ply 31 inch tall slick to go on a 16 wheel.

    Towel City still makes an 8.00-16" if that's close enough. I've got the larger 9" on two of my cars, with thousands of miles on one, and 2100 miles on the newest. Love them.

  4. Are they made on radial casings or bias?

    You can get them either way now. Going to be ordering a set soon. Agree on the width, narrow just looks right for the vintage

    I checked with them a few months back, and the reply was they use all radials, no bias ply.

    Radir offers a 9.00-16 bias ply cheater slick.

    9.00-16"
    2-3/4" whitewall
    32" tall
    12 1/2" section width
    9" tread width
    16x7" thru 16x12" recommended wheel width
    http://radirwheels.com/slicks.htm

    They may be wider than what you were looking for, but 32" should be plenty tall. :)
