Talking Ordered Up My M/T Tires....

Will this week i got my alloy 16x8 rims and i jsut ordered my M/T ET STREET RADIALS.. 26x10.5x16 (255/50/16)

Last time I ran, I ran in 80* weather on my 17x9 up front (275/40) and 17x10.5 in the rear (315/35) Nitto EXTREMES (street tires; pratically brand new).

My best time was a 12.30 @ 115.56 with a 1.9 60'


Now i will have my 16s on. Chrome in the front, alloy in the back. And with brand new M/T rubber.

So 11s here i come

Went hard on my 10 bolt saturday night, had clutch issues but had some hard 1.8 60' foots on the 255 m/t radials and knock on wood so far so good. I just revved to 3500 and slipped the clutch pretty quickly but didnt dump it!

I had M/T's on my 10 bolt with 4.10's at the track last time I went and it did fine. I just slipped it easy out of the hole to be safe. Good luck!
