Five year old article on the "15 inch tire problem"

Right, but the whole thread is about the lack of 15" tires for HANDLING performance. As in, lateral loads on the front tires. Not a drag race only tire thread.

And there are a ton of pro-touring mopars that are at least mini-tubbed.
Agreed. But it was asked if the protracs were "show poodle" tires or not. I just offered my opinion, and personal experience.
