Default Slicks

Ok guys, hopefully this thread will stay on topic.

I know there has been many great war stories from both N/A and F/I guys. Some have posted awsome times and timeslips.

So... to make it easier on the rest of us, would you guys please be kind enough to post the rim size and slicks you used at the track? Obviously if you post the PSI and tire brand it would help even better.

Again, only post if you USED SLICKS at the track.

Thanks,
Nasty

MT E/T Street Slicks- 26x10.5x15 at about 18lbs.. Going back this week and running 16-17 lbs... my best 60' so far is a 1.85 on them but only had 3 runs, should be capable of a 1.7 60'

Actually broke the CV joint.. And do to some very nice people at a certain Nissan dealer It was replaced under warranty! Other wise would of cost around $500 to replace.. I am still looking into aftermarket axles to replace the weak stock ones....
