Looking to pickup a set of stickies....

Going to throw them on the stock FD wheels just for the rear, and run a pair of the spares w/cycle in the front =P The ghetto broke-*** way, haha.

I don't want a street legal D.O.T.

I want a pure street ILLEGAL slick... for track purposes only.

What is good for stock wheels? 26X10X16?

Any help would be great... the more traction the better... =)

Thanks,

Mickey Thompson ET Streets 26/10.5/16...

 

Get the widest 26 inch tall slick you can find. It's going to be hard.

 

well what is going to fit? =P

 

ET Drags would be the way to go but the largest diameter is 15inch. Next best I would say is ET Street. Combine that with launching on boost and you will get some really good 60ft times.

ahh that explains why i can't find the drags in the correct size =/

 

Yeah 60ft times would be nice.. if I could launch - I never launch the car.. I'm in the process of building up the rear end...so I'm looking for a set of slicks so I'm ready for the track as soon as the rear end is finished.

Hrmm.. I'm going to be need a roll cage. Even if I drive as crappy as Lupe, I'll still break 11.99 - haha. STUPID FD AND STUPID INVENTION CALLED MONEY! =/

 

I have ran both the et streets and 18 245 40 bfg, dr. best time on bfd 1.72 1.85 on et . im going to get hole shot wheels and try the m/t drag radials. they also make the right off set for front. if you find something better please post. charlie

 

Do the 26" tall MT ET street tires slow down your 1/4 mile MPH alittle compared to the stock tire size diamater of 24.86" ? I think they do, one reason is because the taller tires slows down the acceleration alittle just like a lower gear ratio would, and a smaller tire or higher gear ratio is usually beneficial on the drag strip right for faster times and mph.

On my stock 16" tires and 25.3" diameter 18" tires I was going 115-116 mph, best was 116.8. Then I got my 26" diameter ET street radials and been getting mostly 113-114 mph, I did get one run that was 115 mph, but on average I'm not going as fast as I did before these tires and I have to think it is because they are much taller. Anyone else have this same experience?

My best on stock street tires was 12.3 @ 116.8 with a 1.8 60ft, on the ET street radials I just got a 12.03 @114.6 after getting better 1.7 60 ft times and probably driving/lauching alittle better than before.
