In the old days it was a purpose-built 10.5 W tire that actually measured closer to 11.5 inches.

Now if you have a 10.5 w that is a big tire. Small tire is 28x10.5 or 29x10.

Street race rules, some will not care, but some do, all the airport races have the 29x10.5 or 29x10, yes Hoosiers get a pass because they are sized funny, they are actually narrower than M/T. Most of the street races I go to is set up prior. Show up with a W and when you said non w and you will loose your deposit.
That race had 3 states involved, the one that talked the most crap, lost and did not want to pay. As you saw, he paid. The starter of the races is a mutual guy that calls the race. Tough job.
