Default i need a skinny wheel/tire combo, but im wanting stability down the track as well!

is this possible.. im soon installing my cam and 150 shot on 3.73 t/a covered 10 bolt, its an auto so it may last a few passes so long as im gentle.. but this thing is gonna fly compared to the old way, and at 122mph with the old setup i was breaking fairly hard to get her slowed down at the end of the 1/4, nothing extreme, but i get the feeling with 128-132mph traps and a skinny on the front.... wel something tells me it isn't going to feel or slow down quite the same as it used too.. does the size of wheel or tire matter?

i may run a 15x4 and the slightly wider 8 ply skinnys instead of the 15x3.5 inch and the real skinny skinnies lol.. i mean this may sound stupid, but with et streets out back wobbling, and skinny's out front.. are there ways to help my chances of stopping?

Default

I run Prostars 15x3.5 with MT Sportsman Pro 8-ply tires in the front and 16x8 Prostars with MT 255/50/16 DR's in the rear. This is a very stable track setup, in fact it drives real nice on the street. Since I can run the MT DR's at 18 psi in the rear braking is still good and much better than ET Streets.
