Default Need tire help

Hi all,

Wondering what sort of tires I should get for my 93 hatch. Planning on tracking it a couple times this upcoming drag season and was wondering what you guys run. Car info is in sig.

Was looking at some Hoosier qtp's 26" tall but I'm not sure if thats to big of a tire to be running.

Let me know what y'all think.

Thanks

26" is prob gonna be too big depending on trans. I make the same hp as you. Have 25" m&h and am looking into stepping down to 23"s

Input your info and figure out what mph and rpm you will need for the track. Play with tire sizes until you get what you think will work for your setup.

Im selling my wheels & slicks for a good deal. For that power level your on the edge between 23's and 24.5's 24.5's prob work better from my experience. LMK if your interested in mine there posted in the Drag for sale thread. $500 wheels and slicks 26's will kill yoru trans and way to much tire for that power level
