275-50-15 and they are DOT approved Drag Radials from BF goodrich, not slicks.

Want some? we have them in stock...NEW

we are moving to the 325-50-15 for better 60 foot times and traction...

hey just to answer the questions

we're running a consistent 1.6 60 ft. tires are 26" tall. and im in 5th just before the finish line even though we're winding it out to 8,000.

first gear is all wheelspin, the mph is there just have to get a lil better launch which the larger tire will help us with.

Get slicks, trust me. That is a 9 second car running 10's due to traction.

I guess you are going for the street set up though.

Nice run!

the class we run in is the "BF Goodrich Pro STREET Tire" Class....

We have to run a DOT approved Street drag Radial....

Trust me, we would love to run on slicks....

the tires are great, we just have to impove the size....

Wait till TEXAS.... lots of changes in the works....

The 15's will clear the rear brakes OK? What wheels are you running with those?

even if you have a built engine, you may not make any power that high so revving it wouldnt do anything for you. On your dyno, is your power still increasing when you get out of it??
