You know what else is cool..? You can write the word 'DADDY' on the sidewall with tire chalk just after the 'Hoosier' to show everyone at the track just whats up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Do they make Hoosiers in 17" to fit a factory WS6 rim?

If not, what size should I get for my car. It will be lowered 1 5/8" in the rear with G2 Springs.

I'll need something sticky soon.

Thanks

Is that with tubes? Noticed you don't use screws in the tires. How do you keep them from rotating on the rims?

Hey Guys, The size is 27 X 11.5" x 15". I am not running tubes, so, no screws.

I run them at 12 psi and they are very stabil down the track.

Thanks Ryan...I think I will try the Hoosiers next. Are these the DOT ones, or the drags? I assume you are using a 10" wide rim?

Thanks again!

Yup, those are the 15" x 10" with 7.5"bs Prostart rims. The tires are the Quick Time Pro DOT. I belive they are the same compound as the Slicks, but have the DOT certification.

I saw Ryan say he was running 12psi. What are the rest of you running?

Fireball,

What size are the 28 inch, 11.5,13.5,or 14.5s? What size rim and offset are you using? What all did you have to do to get them to fit?

Thanks

Clay
