Here's a pic of my old POS from Saturdays Armdrop. Those are the 10.5's crammed in between the frame rails and fender lips. They stick like glue at 10 PSI. :)

Nope. Just make sure you use a MT 10.5 with a C or S.

Question 2. These slicks are old. I've heard you can spray them with WD-40 to soften them up. Any truth to that? Any ideas to soften them up a bit?

I've heard of guys using bug spray, I even tried it out.  WD40 as a lubricant kind of sounds weird, like to know how it works if you use it?

I soaked the crap out of them the nite before with a can of WD 40 fogger. On the 3rd run at 10 PSI, the TPS on PL had me pretty much flat foot it off the launch. They worked well with the 'track' I had to work with.
