Got some new tires

Got a used set of Mickey Thompson ET drag slicks they are 33x10.5x16. I put them on 16x7 ford wheels because the dodge wheels are only 16x6. Going to the track on friday to see what kind of difference the tires will make.
also got some pics of the new tires on the truck.

Looks good. I bet that thing really scoots. The exhaust looks mean.

Nice!

16" slicks are very hard to find im sure you know.

also the height difference from stock tires should help you on the top end.

is'nt your rear already welded? still no traction?

let me know next time your going to atco. we'll make some 19 second runs in the 93.

I could have used a set of them on the dually yesterday. Took a trip to Skyview drag strip in Owego New York. They probably still would not have helped since I have an open rear still. But once the track warmed up a bit I was in the 10.2's in the 1/8. Rather slow but it was fun. I did run my friends 02 5 spd for a 10.1@69 mph with the passenger side tire frying through 4th.

I love the way your truck looks with the M/T's and hub caps, very slick.
