Im getting rims that are 18x9.5 all around and by the time I go to the track my car is going to have all the bolt ons. So what size street tires should I put on the rims to get the best performance at the track

 

Why 9.5 inch wheels on the front for drag racing? What will that do for you?

 

no reason at all these rims are going to be on the car all summer and im also going to be going to the track 1-2 times a month and want to know what the best size tire I should put on these rims

 

Then this is primarily a street set-up. I recommend 275 plus or minus 10 mm.

 

what do you mean by full bolt ons?

you want to drive on the tires when you are not racing?

 

i mean everything but cams and yes im going to be driving on them everyday

 

davidv should I get 275 for the front and rears? and should I get 35 in the front and 40 in the rear?

 

I do not recommend same size all around with VDC. The rear tire should be about 15 mm taller than the front.

F: 255 mm
R: 275 mm

F: 265 mm
R: 285 mm

There are lots of potential combinations.

 

alright thanks for your help im going to get the 255/275

 

Wait - what kind of track?

 

Full bolt-ons + auto = fast as stock 6mt lol

Run any tires you want, if your not asking about drag radials, F1's or KDW2's work well and have good straight line grip, F1's have more in that department but softer sidewalls for turning.

 

the drag strip.....I ordered toyo t1rs 255/40/18f 275/40/18r as soon as they go on im going to see how they perform.

Alberto whats a stock 6mt run?

 

o wait i found it the best stock 6mt ran a 13.64 and whats that behind it a auto that ran 13.66?

 

don't worry about the AT haters, they just mad that we get it easy

 

im not worried at all im sure he was just playing around anyway but I gotta still defend them some way

 

Defend them by getting on the LIST.

 

the new tires are going on saturday and im going to englishtown on wednesday(only my second time being at a drag strip...first time ran a 13.8)
