IMO, if you're limited size wise then I would go with whatever you can get in a full slick. I know there's 16 inch slicks, not et streets, full et drag's With a stick car you'll be better off with a soft sidewall slick anyway. You might even be better off with a 26x10 et drag then a 27 inch et street. I played with the dot slicks, and they don't compare to the et drag traction that I am sure of.
Jl, hoosier is the only company that makes a treu slick in a 16 in, in a 27 or 28 inch size that why im very limited with tires or i would get a full slick hands down.

damn, I thought m/t had one.


If you can, I'd seriously look into getting a set of drag rims for the track, even a set of convo pro's that are inexpensive or something, it's worth it just for the tire selection

dont get me wrong id love a set of prostars, but im not into the grinding thing and with my car lowered im not sure if the tires will stick out past the fender lip, and when the suspension transfers if it would hit? and no one around me has a set that i could try.

Not sure exactly what your plans are, but someone makes a slick for a 17" rim. I don't have alot of info on them, but I know that there were guys hitting 1.5X 60's with them in stick cars (new mustangs I think).

talk to mightymouse, he's been into the 9's on a 17 inch rim/tire combo.... I'd get whatever he's running if you're set on running a street car rim

LOL, you know that little disclaimer that says "Not recommended for street use"? Well I pretty much ignore that.
