Default Just got in my Bogarts

rear rims in the mail and waiting on the fronts

Dragstar 9.75" rear 15s and front 15s x 4" (waiting on em still) for front, welded

what size tires?

10.5" x 15 x 26" hoosier slicks will fit right? and what front skinny, bias plys.

I want a good deal, summit or jegs? also I want light as possible for the tires, especially the skinnys.

Thanks.

I just need info for the tire sizes that will fit for my rims.

these are track only tires, that will be installed only during drag racing, I will use my snowflake rims during Daily driving.

You'll want to choose a 26x4.5 drag front tire. They will weigh ~11-12 lbs. Moroso makes one called a DS2, Mickey Thompson has an ET Drag. Goodyear and Hoosier also have all similar styles too.

I don't believe they have a 26x10.5 slick. As MT has, they are 26x10" #18130. MT has a variety of compounds too.

Okay, Im thinking of hoosier skinnys and slicks for the rear, what is the widest size that will fit on 9.75?

and Im going with Hoosier fronts because I hears they were the lightest, or was it the M/T fronts?
