Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R Tire 26X8.00R15LT 80H for 1940-1980 Classic Hot Rods
The Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R stands as the classic hot rod tire with a distinctive flamed tread pattern and radial build. Size 26x8.00R15LT fits wide rear positions on street rods, drag cars, and customs from Chevrolet trucks to Ford muscle cars of the mid-century era. It pairs with skinny front tires for that iconic rake and delivers solid street traction plus durability.
Key Features
- Flamed Tread Pattern: Iconic hot rod styling grips asphalt with period-correct looks and consistent contact patch for straight-line stability.
- Radial Construction: Provides ride comfort, cornering response, and longer wear versus bias ply designs on daily-driven classics.
- 80 Load Index H Speed Rating: Handles 992 lbs per tire at 50 psi with capability up to 130 mph for spirited drives.
- Extra Wide 8 Inch Section: Fills 15 inch rims for aggressive stance and planted rear footprint on pro street setups.
- DOT Approved Compound: Street-legal rubber wears evenly under load for reliable weekend cruiser performance.
Product Notes
- Ideal rear tire matched with Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R front runners for balanced hot rod geometry.
- Inflate to 50 psi maximum cold for load capacity and sidewall flex.
- Oversized tire ships deflated in protective sleeve to prevent damage.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Mount on 7.5 to 8.5 inch wide 15 inch wheels for proper bead seating.
- Balance with standard clip-on weights and check valve stem compatibility.
