drag tire?
 

would I be better to run a 205/40-17 mickey thompson street radial that is 8.5 inches wide and 23.5 inches tall. Or a 26/7-17 drag slick that is 7 inches wide and 25.5 inches tall. remember I am tuned so I think the extra height isnt going to effect me to much, and is going to stick way better than the radial but the radial will gain more top end to make up for some spinning it may do at the line. Any opinions.

i would go slicks if you have a good clutch and axles,if not get a good drag radial.

I know people have DR's for their SS/TC, but I still cant seem to find any. I cant find any that fit perfectly for the SS/TC, or do I look them up under a different size tire besides stock?

23.5"


thank me after you make the pass.

I would get the 205/40/17" MT's, but I dont feel like buying 2 rims for them, LOL.

this is were you can get great tires fot the strip&street
 

I know my local 1/8 mile track sucks when it comes to track prep, but I have these same tires in a different size on my Mustang, and they SUCK!!! I want a "REAL" DR, LOL!!

how much air you running in them?

I honestly havent ever lowered the pressure in my Mustang before I raced. I lowered it for my Wife when we raced about a month ago, but she doesnt launch hard or anything, LOL.

Ok I will probably be getting the 205/40-17 street radial tires within a couple weeks.

uhm....those aren't even a drag radial in the first place....

i have bfg dr's 225 45 17's they work pretty good but like a 25 or 26 10.5 would be amazing ud need extended wheel studs depending on the track and if they acually go by the rules

do you know anything about drag tires? a 26/10.5 is NOT good for these cars.

You think I didnt know that??? That is why I said I need a "REAL" DR!!

i took your statement as being sarcastic and meaning "these are imitation drag radials" as if you bought them thinking they were.

I was just about to pull the trigger on the drag radials but, I was looking at the height and weight on the two tires. the height of the drag radial is 23.5 but it weighs 20 lbs. The slicks are 25.5 inches and only weighs 13 lbs. so my question now is, is the less weight of the slick going to be better than the less height of the radial or vice versa?
