Default dot slick choice?

i just did my first 11.9 the other night
im racing in the steet class 11.0 and up.
we must use street tyers or dot slick
im doing 2.0 2.1 60ft on hoosier 225 50 15 dot slick
b16a turbo 400hp, mfractroy lsd, dss 3.9

i purchased a set of mt et drag 26-10.5-15 slicks but they are to big,
also think i might brake somthing.

whats a good tyer in the middle say 24.5"
im looking for mid 11s and i need to drop the 60ft times

a vid of my last meet

M&h 235/60/15 bias plys are good. They are 25.3 inches tall. Decent wear and heat up fairly well.

i would run the 26x10.50x15 got to lift the car up kinda high but i believe its about the biggest and best gripping dot tire you can get on a honda... if you learn how to preload right you deff wont break anything with a dot

Brian, at your whp level, how much wheel spin (if any) do you get in 3rd and 4th with them on the street? I have been looking into these, due to the good things I hear about them. Sorry for the thread jack, OP.

These are great tires but both of you are wrong. The Diameter is 25.4"

The diameter of the ET Street 235/60-15 is 26.1"

If you want to get even more technical your all wrong bc the width of the wheel and amount of air pressure will change the diameter lol
