Anyone running Moroso DS2's???

Anyone using these on a full weight or near full weight car? I bought a pair for my car to run down the track on summit 15x4 stars but now that I've been reading about them on other forums it seems that they are for cars below 3000 pounds. Anyone running these safely on a near full weight car safely??? Should I sell them and get something else to be on the safe side???

These tires were on my Bogart's when I had them. Full weight car and had no issues.

DS-2 26 x 4.5-15



They've been on the car for many years, have been pushed at the track to 130 MPH and have been driven on the street, 7 miles from my house to the track. Car weight has varied from 3,550 - 3,825#. I've never seen any published data for the load capacity of the tires.

GM High Tech Performance has used them on a 4th Gen build, and I've seen a lot of the 4th Gen feature cars running them.

Studs came from Lingenfelter, 2.67" threaded length, plus a ridiculous 0.60" of unthreaded length. The thread length barely meets the NHRA requirement of "one stud diameter" (12mm) of threads in the hex portion of the nut. But that's all that was available in 1999 when I bought them.

The subject of looking "funny" with a stock rim (yes, they do) was covered in a thread a couple days ago, with pictures:
