Which Stiff Sidewall tire, M6
Which Stiff Sidewall tire, M6 Been out of the game for a while as far as drag racing, and there have been quite a few tire changes since the last time I bought a set.
I have 15x8 (5.5 BS) wheels, so whatever tire choice needs to fit that rim.
My local track will not allow a full slick on the normal test and tune days for 1/4 mile heads up passes, so I need a "DOT" approved tire. Previously (05/06) I had used MT ET Streets that were siped and marked DOT, and that style is still "ok".
The rest of my setup is in my signature. Actual part number would be appreciated for the specific tires you all recommend.
Thanks in advance.

I am definitely under 500 N/A, but spray is a possibility in the future. Hoosier Qucktime DOT? DOT Pro? that's where I am getting mixed up. Mickey also has similar options, not sure where to go and why I asked for specific part numbers. Thanks
Hoosier QuickTime Pro is a great dot tire for manual trans car. 26 inch tall with 4.10 gears. I'd recommend a 28 tall tire and more gear if you are trying for a little more max effort.

Thanks fellas, I'm leaning toward a 28, not only for the "look" but because if I do decide to spray it or this stock Motor goes south I'll at least be one up of tire selection for the next setup. I'm not out to set any f-body records....my budget is eclipsed by anything "fast" these days.

That's the thing, Id hate to buy 26's, and find myself upgrading sooner than later and have to spend another bunch of $ on different size tires.
