I am gona pull for my first time tamarow night just wondering if i should leave the BFG Mud Terrains, or put my street tires back on. We have had no rain here and the track will be packed pretty tight, i just dont wana break anything. Also were should i run my juice WFO or not.

 

Run the MT's. Of course you should run wide open.

 

I know most prefer all terrains, but I go with the most aggressive I can get (this will get the most of your power on the track, but it will also help put your drive train to the acid test).

If your not willing to run all out there really is ant a reason to hook to the sled.

Good luck and as always be prepared for possible brakage

 

Run the MT's let MOST ALL of the air out...like 20 rear 35 front!
Donot forget your Pantyhose....P.M me for how to use that trick!


GOOD LUCK!!!

 

not on the subject of tires but you might shut your overdrive off if you can. you might have already knew that but it worked well when I pulled my auto.

 

I air my front down to 25-28 but keep rear tires up to carry weight of sled also if the track is real dry and dusty the mud tires will help bite down into some better dirt.

 

I was just wondering i figured with the street tires i could spin out easier and maybe not break as much stuff.

 

That is true but you don't want the embarrassment of doing nothing but spinning and not pulling, I always keep my rear tires aired up.

what is this panty hose stuff?

 

Traction in the rear is not a prob it has the sled pulling it down on the track. I run 40 in front and 65 in the rear with 295 BFG A/T's only becose I had 38x15.50's and the A/T's were half tread and $150 and I could put them on stock rims and still have my 38's ready to go for mud.

 

Well i pulled last night i had to run on the 7500 open gas, diesel class i was a little out matched considering i was runing against guys with ladder bars and weight boxes. I will be ordering a new turbo and building a weight box this week IM HOOKED NOW!!!!!! By the way i pulled 260.5, finished 9th out of 18 trucks.

 

thats not a bad pull. I only got about 226 ft when I pulled but I didnt run aggressive tires. get some ladder bars also they will help out alot

 

There you go. Also I'm a firm believer that every time you pull and don't tear anything up its a good pull. I agree traction bars is a must then weights.

Good job.

 

Weldman,
Which tires did you pull with?
