I have a 93 Z28 M6 with roughly 415rwhp, 10 bolt w/3.73 posi. I was thinking of getting the new Street Lights and running these tires on them for street/stip use. I will only be taking it to the track a couple times. I just don't want to put out the money for two sets of rims and rubber. I realize these tires are not good in the rain, and I don't drive in the rain unless i get cought in it. What do you think of this idea? Advice needed

It's a lot of tire, do you need that much?

kind of seems like an "overkill" amount of tire. you don't need something that fat or tall. just my .02 cents

i just wanna hook this year. I was goin sideways down the track last year running low 14's. But i will only go to the track prolly twice so i wanna buy rims and rubber i can use on the street too.

i have ~500rwhp and i have 26x10.5x15 et drags. maybe something like that maybe a lil taller

Thats right. It might actually slow you down if you don't have the hp.

Ya you are right, I just love big fat boots in the back. What do u think i should go with 26" or 28", x 10.5" or 11.5", street slicks, or radials? Maybe i will just buy some M/T tires for my salad shooters and get a nice rim/tire combo for everyday use.

roadhog_113

ok so my goal is a cost effective street/strip combo. It is between stock salad shooters and a pair of rear bias ply prolly 26-27x 10.5. Or i get a set of 17's all around with hoosier 315x35x17 drag radials. Do you think the hoosiers would hook well? I have done alot of searching and have not come across any numbers using these tires on the track. I would really appreciate some help on this.

the new m/t 315/35/17 street radial is one hella tire. i think mightymouse ran a very low 9 sec 1/4 mile with these tires.

roadhog_113

really wow thats impressive. is it an automatic car? I was reading somewhere the hoosiers hook better on m6 cars cause they are a little softer. However the m/t would probably be better for street use.

Ya those tires are bad ***, I have them on my car. I can leave a light on a 100 shot without heating them up and all the do is bark for a split second. Thats putting down 500rwhp. ]:}

Yeah i wouldnt go with them if I were you.get some 26by11.5s on some stock 16 inch wheels for the track.The 325s are kinda a pain to fit on also.

I ran the 26's for a while cam only, 400hp area.

26's...


I had to step up to the 28's exact size you are talking about when I put the bottle on it. It just fried the 26s in 1st on a 100 shot.

I just got done building a 347 for it, 450ish hp range, with a bigger shot on it. It's fighting for traction a bit down low but still hooks better than the 26s.

325/50s...



Also, its a PITA to get the big tires to fit in the wheel well. be ready.

Your cars looks really good guys! Thanks for the information this is helping a lot. So what do you think for my car though, 26"x11.5" or 315x35/r17?

Well that's easy, do you like bigs and skinnies or 17s better.

You know my vote.
