Default Tire Size... preferably MH

I know I should be buying other parts first, but one of my rims just got stolen so its time to buy some wheels and tires. I was looking at the Lenso's but I have no idea where to start on the tire size. I am building this car for the sfwd so I want to stay within the tire size requirements. Any good input for 750+ hp so I can get these things ordered asap is appreciated.

most high hp turbo cars are either on the following MH sizes
MH 24x8.5x13
MH 25x8.7x13

they also have a 26x8.5x13 which will fit on the Lenso VPD. but thats not legal for NHRA SFWD of course.

choosing the tire size depends on your gearing, how high RPM you take the car to, your driving style, HP, and the conditions of the track you go to.


Good choice on the VPD Lenso, we're coming out with matching skinnies called the XPD in a few weeks.

thanks for the advice. I was actually looking at your site for my future purchase. do you have a mount and balance tire/wheel package? I think that I am going to start with the 8.5...

since you are sfwd, you are limmited to a small list of tires and sizes.

from m and h i recomend as will most of us, the 25 x 8.7 x 13
