Currently running a 275/60R15 MTradial in a 6 speed with 4.30s from a 9in.........Although i did manage a 1.7 60' time. Its wheel hoping a little bit as well......i was thinking maybe a 27x10.5x15 biasply et street. The car is a full bolt on MS3 cam fast 92 car with almost full suspension......UMI k member, a arms no front sway bar, LCA and relocation brakets, Panhard bar, Spohn Torque arm relocation.

You might try some drag shocks to transfer the power. That's about all I can think off besides maybe coilovers..

Thats a nono on the Et Streets. Get a set of 15x10 wheels and put some Hoosier slicks on them 26x10x15 or preferably 28x10x15. You need some sidewall to wrinkle to get that 6 spd off the line. The only 15x10 wheels that will just go on the car without any modification is the Billet Specialties Streetlites and Bogarts. Bogarts are $$$$ though.

I like M/T but all of the bias ply slicks will help you out leaps and bounds.

im running a 15x10 race star currently so i think most tire sizes are possible....if i used et drags would that be overkill and bog the car?

You can run a 13" wide tire on a 10" wheel without problems so any tire you are considering will work. Full drag tires aren't really needed in 99% of aplications. They cost more, require a longer burnout, therfore they don't last as long. The ET street should be just fine. The Drag won't bog the car.

i think i might go with a 27x10.5x15 ET street since the car will be still be drivin on the street every other weekend.

With a street driven M6 car, you need to get away from the Drag Radial. The weight and rpm requirment of which you need to leave off the line on AVERAGE over powers the tires.

Are there guys out there that have gotten a M/T ET Street Radial to work? Yes, but are the majority, No.

ET Streets are a better choice but in the end a ET Drag is something you should really look into. Even if you need to swap tires. Beleive me, it sucks. I would not want to deal with it either if I could help it.

With a Magic Stick car you need to leave at a HIGH rpm, but I do not see you bogging. Had you been running anything less then a 4.10 gear or a tall tire, MAYBE but you have a 4.30's and there is/should be no reason your bogging.

Sticks tend to sometimes need a softer sidewall tire to absorb the "shock" versus an auto (unless the suspension and track prep are spot on). As some have mentioned, a slick tire will help with that. You can make a radial work but they are less forgiving than a slick.

Thanks for all the help and info, you guys are awesome! So lookin into ET drags, would the stiff sidewall be ideal as well?

A stiff sidewall slick will last longer on a heavy car versus a std slick. I usually get 20-25 more runs on my M/T ET Drag 28 x 10.5 stiff slicks versus the regular sidewall (3600 lb transbrake car that usually kills the sidewalls before the tread dots are gone).
