Default slick size help needed please

Hi, 1 of the drag cars we run over here is running mickey thompson et street, with a 1.960ft and a 11.6 @ 127. that was on the first outing before oil pressure problems.


so best of 11.6 @ 127 1.960ft.

were looking at running slicks, 13x8 rim. but unsure on slick size, estimating around 475whp

is there a rule what size slick we should go for?

MT 24.5 x 9 x 13 will work for you

just check your gear ratio's too to make sure the powerband will be good with your ratio's and slick size

Cheers fo that, MT 24.5 x 9 x 13 is actually the slick we have been looking at.
the engine and gearbox, for the car in question is not honda, i can get the specs of the gear ratio's and final drives ect??
but we allso run a d16 at about 400whp, would a 24.5 x 9 x 13 be suitable or a little big?
