Drag tires ?
Evenin, DTR.
I need to start looking for some drag tires all the way around... what am I looking for? I don't want slicks, without being able to burn them on all 4 corners, they are pretty useless. I guess I'm looking for some street slicks, something that will grab really good, but not need a warm up. I know I spin till about the 30' mark with stock 265's at 30psi... Thanks! |
Bump...
And... I want to either put them on stock rims or H2 Rims.... |
Take a look at www.hoosier.com

madhat, did you end up finding a set you like yet? I have been doing a little looking myself, but have not found anything that really catches me eye.
|
Mickey Thompson has what you are looking for... I think...
|
I have not...
I'm actually looking for a size recommendation with a link... |
I'm on another site that has a Thread for discount tires direct and I'll ask what the closest he can get to 245/70/17 drag radials, or maybe something in 31-32 tall. Does that height work or can you go shorter?
Edit, I see your trap speed and you probably couldn't go lower than 31 and that's pushing it depending on your gear and rev limiter. |
Yeah, I think a 31 is about it. 265 is great... that's what I ran for that trap speed. I had a lot of slippage on the line, and some boost issues that kept my 60 ft time around 1.9-2.0. I was running them down like mad in the big end, tho!
|
Yeah a link would be awesome. I was wanting to do the same thing you were with the h2 wheels and tires. Is that pretty much the smallest tire we can use, a 245 or 265?
|
Alright I asked, 31-33 height preferably 32. When he gets back to me I'll let you know, they might not be available. I also asked to specify weight ratings on the higher side.
|
Thanks!
|
Yeah no prob, I'm also trying to get some tires for my Honda daily driver. Seems like he is answering questions pretty well it's like 15 pages long now.
|
Awesome! Thanks!

They are directional, which does, IMO, give better traction. 31" tires with 11.5" tread width and fairly soft rubber! http://www.tiresdirect.net/TOYO_Prox..._P4843C899.cfm http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/proxes-st-ii They don't spin with a 20-22 psi launch on my 3.55 rear end. I've seen them run on a 06 with 850 hp and the proxes II only chirped a bit on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift! RJ |
Those Proxes dont look too bad. Price is not bad on them.
