I have been wanting a slick and wheel setup for the track. I have the chance to get a set of convopros with a damn good price with tires. They are on my friends camaro. He is also unsure of the width, we think 15x9. The rears have et streets 275-50-15's with very few miles, in great shape. My question is, can the tires hold up to a really hard launch with my 6spd? I really wanted some hoosier qtp's 28" tall. I want to launch the **** out of this car, i am just unsure about the tires. I have some bfg drags, great on the street but a waste of money buying them for the track. Can any 6spd guys give me some advice?

I have had both 275/50/15 et street radials and 27/11.5/15 Quick Time pros.

QTP > M/T

and after launching with bias ply tires, I don't think I'll ever go back to radials...

I launch above 6000 rpm on 26x10.5-15 ET Streets at 20 psi to 1.6 sec sixties. No radial I've tried works nearly as well as ET Streets on my car.

i know they are better. I dont race a lot. I just want the damn thing to stick with a hard launch. Will they hold?

They will hook if your car is set up right. I have them on my car and they do pretty good, but i need a bigger tire.

From what i read here you really need a bias ply tire for a six speed. They just recover so much better.

How hard can you launch? Best 60's i could get with bfg's was a 1.8

ive gone 1.49 60ft on a m/t 275/60/15 dr with my M6 but it is tricky to get it consistent ..IMO go with a et drag for a M6 , also get a 2 step it will make you very consistent

I had ET streets on mine, On motor a 26in tire was best, but on nitrous a 28 was a must. The 26 had its feelings hurt by the nitrous hit. I couldnt get any better then a 1.60 flat... I honestly think with 6spds, full suspension on the rear is a must.
