Hey guys im running on some stock five star wheels with the 8.5" width and i need some slicks to throw on them, i wanna keep the factory wheel for the fact that i like the "sleeper" look, so i dont want to upgrade wheels or anything. I need a slick that hooks REALLY well at the track, I would even consider radials if you have any ideas. I am looking at 450hp thru a 4k stall so i need something that wont blow the tires off. I am thinking a 10.5" or a 10" slick is all i will be able to fit in there... What about a radial? I will also need links to where to find these cuz its kind of a pain to find 16" tires... I found some on summit that are 28x10x16 Hoosiers (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOO-18153/) has anyone run a slick this size before?

Thanks in advance guys!

I would go with a a 275 drag radial. Lots of people hook plenty good with them depending on power level and brand. Most people vouch for MT ET streets.

I need something that will last me a few runs too... I mean i hit the track every weekend and drive there as well as a little throughout the week. I dont want a 5k mile tire... I have fuzions for that

Then you might as well scratch the slick idea if you want them to last.

MT ET streets are probably the best hooking dr; but they probably wear the fastest. I think you can get 15k miles out of a nitto DR depending on how you drive.

MT/ET Streets are on my list farther to the top now... Toyo Proxy TQ's are as well.

will these fit my wheel safely? I know they will bulge but will they blow off?

heres the 26x11.5s bro http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3793/?rtype=10

the ones you listed will fit fine lots of people run those on stock wheels. only problem with them is that there 28" tall unless you want a 28" tire.

I believe that the widest radial that you should run on a stock 16x8 (not 8.5) wheel is 255. Get a 255/50/16 Hoosier drag radial; they hook like nobody's bizness.

Okay so i just looked at all my options for tires on my stockers... I decided to check out other options... While my car was at the shop a guy backed into my fender and headlight so he feels really bad and he wants to pay to get it fixed and painted. He then told me he had a pair of 15x9 draglites for $250. 11.5" tires should fit on those right? Then i shouldnt have any issues hooking up

These tires right here. I had a friend run the 28s and he hooked really good with them. He had h/c and a 150 shot.

You can get 255/50-16 MICKEY THOMPSON ET Street Radial for 179$ each from onlinetires.

I wouldn't try to put 11.5" wide tires on a 9" wide wheel.

why not?? According to summit the maximum rec width wheel for a 26x11.50x15 mt et radial is 9.5 inch and min is 7.5

It actually says that the minimum width is 8.80 and the maximum is 10.80, which really surprises me. I stand corrected.

Do the 295/50/16 mickey thompson's. I have them on my car and they're awesome.

295 Mt radials. they work but you need to run a low PSI like 14 -16 other wise they round out and you loose about 2 inches of contact with the ground.

I have had my car cutting 1.8 60s on the street and you can pull a 1.9 with ease
