Help me pick a tire for nitrous.
Help me pick a tire for nitrous. I will be getting some Bogarts here in the future and need a tire to that can handle a 100-150 shot. I would like to have a tire that I could drive on the street with sometimes....by no means a daily driver...and will not be driven in bad weather.
My main concern though is....the tire size. I have a Moser 12 bolt w/4.11's...and don't want to be in 5th. Can I get away with a 26" tire...or will I be trapping too high?
What is probably going to be my MPH in the 1/4...so I could figure out where I need to be with the tire?
I really don't want to rev past 6700-6800 rpm. 6500-6600 would be more to my liking.

No problem Mike.This section has been alittle slow the last few days.
Travis said when he had 430 gears and motor only with 26s he was crossing the traps 6,600 rpms at 124mph.He said go 28s.
Hope that helps.

Verdad Gallardo I was told by Steve from Bogart that the rim needs a minimum of a 11.5" wide rear tire.
With that said....what would you guys recommend?
How long would a ET street last?

what size rim is the back? 15x9.75 right?, you can go with a 10.5 in tire, i did. i have et streets, they are not bad, but i am swapping them out for et drags becuase the et streets do not hook as good as the et drags or et drag radials.
i have a head/camed/nos car w/4.11's. i cross the traps at 5,900 in 4th on motor,i shift at 6,600rpm's.on a 100 shot i cross at 6,300rpm's at 127mph. a 150 shot should put me at 6,600-6,700 in 4th gear on my 26'' tire. you should be able to do it with out a 28'' tire. i run the m&h racemaster 26x11.5x16 i spray out of the hole at 6,500rpm launch with no spin at all. www.intercotire.com once i used the m&h tire i never went back to m/t's.

I use a 27" Hoosier QTP 11.5" wide. The hook great at 12psi. I have pulled 1.4 60's on these tires. No cutting to fit them, and I also have a moser 12 bolt. I have about 2,500 miles on them now and they have maybe another 1k to go. I drive on them all the time. Very stable and streetable tires.
Ive had your same problem with 26" tall tire.I went up to 28".and lowered my 60' from 1.59 to 1.51.and then I had no problem w/ running out of gear or hitting the rev limiter at the end of the track.
now for how long the m/t et street lasts.w/ that soft compound they only go around 5000 miles. for me that was 2 season driving 20 mile each way with at least 5 passes each time at the track. And the drag radials due hook up better than the et's , it was in some magazine I read. not only that they where better by at least 1 tenth in the 60' and have a side wall so when you leave the track your *** end wont be wondering around going home on those whinny roads.

Not saying it doesn't...It just seems odd.
Why are there some classes in drag racing that don't allow any bias ply tires. You must run street radials....because they do not perform as well right????
