tire help

[katostud]

im going to be getting a set of drag radials and was wondering what brand and model are the stickiest and hook up the best?

[v8astregt]

From what I see in shootouts and at the track, the Mickey Thompson ET Streets are the most popular, particularly the drag radial.

I have ET Drags and I love em... but I have no basis for comparison.

Check out the Hoosier drag radials. Some friends of mine have gone faster on them thanM/T's with no other changes.

i ordered a set of hoosier quick time pros. havent recieved them yet. how do they hook up on the street?

[katostud]

i got my tires. there the hoosier quick time pros. i havent used them yet but i think there gonna be great. there soft and sticky like bubble gum. i think they will hook good

[Fasterthansome]

I run the quick time pro's and they seem to hook better longer than the M/T's.


I thought you were looking for a radial?

I run a 235/60/15 M/T drag radial and have gone a 1.49 60 foot.They hook and drive perfect on the street.

[katostud]

i was looking for a dot tire that can be used on the street aswell

[mbrand6]

Go with M and H street master D.O.T.'s. They even make them for a 14 inch wheel and hook great at mid thirteens in the quarter.

I dont really think that slicks are needed for mid 13's...Ive gone mid 13's and high 12's on a pure street only tire.

The quick times would get my vote....but Im partial to Hoosiers.

God bless

Hey Stud
I use 11.5 x 26 x 15 et drag slicks,I'm just giving you a size reference,I have wheel well mods to fit them inside and a adjustable panhard rod,tread measures 10 inches,I believe this is the biggest tire you can fit inside without tubbing it ,hope this helps,,

I have BFG drag radials (235/60-15) and they hooked great for the first 12-15 passes but fell off after that. I'm going to swap them side to side and burn them down and hopefully they will hook.
