I recently bought some 235/60/15 M&H racemasters for the track and the track is 50 miles away do you think i'll be okay for the tires. Im way to lazy to swap them out at the track

 

whats a good PSI to run them at the track. I have them 12psi cold and when they heat up its 15psi.

 

 

I wouldnt the compound is way too soft

even 50 miles, like 25 miles feeway and the rest city

 

50 miles on slicks and you wont have any rubber left. These slicks are made for drag racing, and we havent even gotten 50 passes on a set...

 

agreed, also what kills race tires is heat cycles, even more then wear. if driven on the street a lot they will get hard and be slow before they even wear down.

 

dont be lazy and no i wouldnt recommend driving them i drove on some mt b4 on the streets drove around a bit got a flat and wasnt able to use it anymore dont waste the meat on the slicks

 

thought i ask first Gonna take them off

 

not to jack the thread but how about the bias ply 235/60/15 ?

yeah 235/60/15 bias ply... I still spin 1st and 2nd but 3rd grips good. I really never hate problems with 3rd anyways.. Track it tomorrow so we will see how they do.

 

those are the Street and Strip (D.O.T.) tires?

they are basically slicks with groves in them... But i will use them only for the strip.

 

well the bias ply Street and Strip (D.O.T.) tires can be bought in 235/60/15 and ppl been saying they get 6000/8000 miles on them on the street.

I drive on these tires all the time.To the track and back to the street races and they still last 3x longer than bfg drag radial.

finally someone with experiance, so do you think it would be ok for 50 mile drive

 

how much power are you putting out to be spinning through 1st and 2nd with 12-15 PSI?

oh wow, must be a blast!

 

man, if you're dyno'n that much, that's pretty good. most turbo Vw's (jettas/gti's) i've seen barely make 250whp at alot more boost 16-17psi.

 

i once saw an 84 GTI at over 460 to the wheels.

SOCH on H-T is his friend....


both big time VW fans.

yeah the older ones can make some stupid power but i'm talkin about the newer 99+ ones with the stock turbos.

i'm not really sure why everyones trying to compare apples n oranges. why doesnt anyone ****** look at the car dis kid has? its not an 80's turbo vw and its not an R32. so i'm not really sure why people keep bringing it up. cuz yes, they're are plenty of high hp R32's.


but regardless, it'll be cool to see a vw in the pro class today at the NW race series #2 race. hopefully there will be more den 3 cars in the class.
