cause you dont know how to drive j/p

Car looks good. Never had a car that had enough power to use slicks. I can barely spin my 13" steelies... hahaha

hoosiers in my opinion dont have as soft compound as M&H or the goodyears.

What kind of 60's are you pulling?

What kind of numbers are you putting to the ground?

You should spin a little off the line. But not much with those things.

he tried like 13psi i think, in that pic the psi wasnt adjusted yet...he did a fatass burnout before each run, cut 2.0 60' and 200WHP

after each run i felt the tires and they didnt feel "sticky" and "gooey" like other slicks do....whcih is why i think he was spinning em

hoosiers are a road race slick, not as soft a compound as mickeys.

What size are those slicks? Maybe they were too small, with 200whp you should probably be running a 22*8*13" slick..that's what im planning on running, but im not sure if it will fit over my gsr brakes..might have to use some spacers..

Default Re: anyone use HOOSIER slicks?? (Spoon1)

the size of the slick is 13x22x9
i was launching at 7k..but spinning it still..

people told me that the HOOSIER compound is just hard
so therefore...its for sale...(not the lenso rims..)
offers start at 120 for the pair

The car is eating you alive and that jackass is just standing there taking pictures!! But to make this worthwhile, as far as slicks go my friend uses MT's I believe...and I think he likes them a lot. try http://www.summitracing.com I believe they sell MT's but I could be wrong...
