Default drag tire question

I just purchased ET drags. (26 8.5 16)for my 2002 TA. Would 15" with wider surface been better? I am not familiar with slicks.

thanks

What type of set up? Will be fine for stock internal cars and mild cam set ups.

Hey sited12

I have a 2002 TA ws6 with high flow lid, 160 stat, magnaflow exhaust, slp longtube headers with cats and superchip's tuning. I was told I have to be careful not to break some of the drivetrain with the ET Drags. I am doing about 350 HP and 360 TQ. I figured until I got to around 400 hp or more that i should be ok. Am I correct by thinking this?

thanks

Is the car an auto or a manual. If its a manual your rearend wont last long so get ready. If its an auto do you have 2.73 gears or 3.23s. Basically the driveshaft is aluminum on the 3.23 gears. I believe the door code inside the drivers door is GU2 for the 2.73 gears so that means get ready because you will bend the driveshaft also. These are all problems i had with my 2000 A4 since october when i put the ET streets on.
