Frequently Asked Questions
What wheel width does the 29.5/10.5R17 require?
This tire fits 17-inch wheels ranging from a 9.0-inch minimum rim width to an 11.0-inch maximum. Mickey Thompson lists the measuring rim width at 10.0 inches, so a 10-inch wheel gives you the published section and tread dimensions of 12.7 and 10.63 inches respectively.
What is the difference between the X5 and M5 compound?
The X5 is a cooler-running version of Mickey Thompson's M5 compound. It manages heat better across repeated runs, which helps the tire hold consistent traction during a long day of bracket or index racing where you may make many passes.
Does this drag radial need a tube?
No. The 29.5/10.5R17 Pro-Bracket is designed to run tubeless on a proper 17-inch wheel. Always verify your wheel and bead seal before launching, and follow recommended cold inflation pressures for your weight and power level.
Is this tire better than a bias-ply slick for bracket racing?
For consistency, the radial design has advantages. The radial ply construction offers steadier handling and lower rolling resistance than a comparable bias-ply tire, which helps it repeat the same 60-foot and elapsed times pass after pass. Bias-ply slicks can still suit certain combinations, so it depends on your setup.
How tall is the 29.5/10.5R17 inflated?
The inflated overall diameter is 29.53 inches with a circumference of 92.8 inches, turning 702 revolutions per mile. Use these figures to check your gearing and fitment when stepping up to a 17-inch wheel package.
