Well wasnt getting much from the tire section so ill try here since its drag racing related. I need a tire for 16" wheel that will hook for 4k stall. I wanted m/t et radials but cant get them. How would the other m/t street tire work? or some other ideas?

 

Work better than what you have, I ran the 26x11.5 ET Street on my stock 16" rims it hooked ok, but I am a 6 Speed.

 

look into the Hoosier radials if u are only gonna only run them at the track, i heard they stick like a basterd but wear quick because of such a soft rubber compound

 

I dont see how those et street radials hook harder than et streets. Make sure im understanding this, the first set of m/t vs the 2nd set. http://www.speedinc.com/catagory.cfm...ls%20/%20Tires

 

I pull 1.52-1.53 60's with 255/50/16 M/T drag radials.

 

Well thats nice but where the hell did u get them

 

Yep...255/50/16's and the 275/50/15 are on national backorder(someone PLEASE correct me if im wrong) Running into the same prob.

 

Man up and order 325's

To the OP, I have heard the M6 guys have better luck with the Hoosiers. However, I was cutting 1.52's on a 26x10.5/16 ET Street

 

I LOVE the 255-50-16 ET street radials

I may sell mine with 18-20 1/8th mile passes on them and 125 miles from driving to and from the track 3 times. Other than that the are 90% new

I pick up a set of 15" prostars this weekend from a buddy of mine and will look to sell my other tires if the deal goes through...

PM me an offer if you are interested and I can send some pics this weekend

 

Goodyear radials any good?

 

i just ordered a set of 275/50/15 et radials the other day from jegs..or are the et streets on back order

 

Too much tire for me I wish though.....LOL

what do you think....26 or 28 inch tires Jmillz?

Really? Hrmmmm might have to give them a call.....thanks for the info


good question....I dont think I have ever seen anyone running them....

 

Good years arent made anymore. Anyone think BFGs would hold up to a 4000 stall? looking for high 1.60 60'

 

I think you should hold off on tires. Take those 28x9's I gave you and see what you're RPM's are on spray. You have 3.42's right?

 

Ya.....3.42's....I think that tire is going to work good with my combo...its not that....its the 10 bolt im afraid is gonna go Lol...

 

Your 10 bolt is gonna hold until you get a trans brake.

 

Bfgs 60' anyone?

 

I have the BFG Comp TA Drag radials. They held a 2300 rpm clutch dump today for a 2.13 60. I know thats not good but it was my first time out in the car and didnt want to get to aggressive. I dont know how they would work for you though. Im trying to decide if I want to get them again or not.

BTW they were 255/50 16.

 

People have been 7's/ 8's on bfg's, will they hold a 4,000 stall yeah, will they hold more power than pretty much any one has one here, sure with a tuned chassis.

People have run those tires with 1,500+ hp, so they will work for you to assuming you have your chassis setup right.

 

M/T drag radials..1.57 60' w/ 3,600 stall..no problem
