    those are the old style larger diameter slick. They work decent an older cars. Most of the newer cars use the 18" diameter tires.

    What compound are the tires? Any idea how old?

    What. Kind of F5 is it and what are your plans?
    Thanks ... Jay Novak

    the tires will fit on your 10" diameter wheels.

    Take a couple of pictures of the engine.

    Do the tires say r25 or r35 on the sidewall. Do you have any idea how old the tires are.
