10 Second 6 speed Cars What size/kind of rear tires are you guys using, and what kind of 60's do you get with them. Right now I have 26/10.50/15 MT ET Streets on a 15x8" wheel. I know the tracks are getting cold and hard to hook so that is part of my traction issues, but I'd like some ideas on tire sizes and choices.
There's a few things I'll be doing to the car this winter including: minitubbing, gear change, upsize to a 15x10" wheel, and I might narrow the rearend (undecided on that).
So let's hear what works for your cars.

I've been reading alot of good things about those M&H tires. If they offer a 27/11.50/15 I might have to give them a shot next year.
What size wheel are you running and what kind of offset with the narrowed rearend? I'm contemplating narrowing my rearend, but I don't think I'd go quite as much as yours. Do you have any pics of your rear wheel combo on the car? Did you have to minitub it for that large of tire?
I haven't had any luck with my MT's. They just spin and spin and spin lol.... I've tried all kinds of different things and I'm just about exhausted all I can on this size tire.
Are you running a 15x10 wheel with that size? Maybe that's part of my traction problem? I've got the 26/10.50 mounted on a 15x8 wheel.

it was a forged 347. TEA Heads, Fast 90/NW90, MS3, duals, etc.
had a TNT F2 kit, but that run there was on a 250 dry shot.
1.40 60ft 6.38@97mph. lol
should ahve shifted to 4th, but thought i was closer to the line then i really was. car trapped 108ish on runs after that... so who know what it "would" have been...
