I have some 13" lensos with some worn out 23 x 8" MH racemasters on them. id like to get new tires that will work good / hook on the street AND the strip.

I have 205/50/15 Gforces (not the drag radials) mounted on my 15x7 slips and they are good for daily driving etc, but i want another set of wheels to put on the front that will get traction on the street/strip with my 472whp hatch.

do i have any options? i checked mickey thompson, M&H, BFG, nitto, etc..

lmk, thanks

it says 205 but its actually more. kinda like how the 23 x 8.0 is more like 23 x 10.5. isnt a glorified slick a good thing?

Wait... what? So you already have g-force radials mounted on slips?

what don't you understand?

he has the lensos and he wants to put something like ET streets on them and run on occasion because he is tired of no traction.

 

yes, why is this confusing?

slips with gforces for daily driving / track days.

lensos on the front with drag radials for weekends and strip days!

i think im gonna order up those 13" M&H tires.

I still don't know what the f is going on. You have drag radials on a set of rotas, but now you want drag radials on a set of lensos? Do you have 2 sets of lensos, or are you planning on removing your M&H slicks to mount radials?

Either way, you won't find a radial that fits a lenso rim. All you'll get is a DOT slick, which isn't practical for street use, despite it's legal rating. I'd just get a better radial on the Rotas, like a 235 ET street.

I have a set of gforces (NOT THE DRAG RADIALS) on my 15x7 slips and worn out M&H racemasters on my 2 lenso wheels. i want to put the lensos on (with drag radials or a dot slick) when i want traction.

I have 1 set of lensos for the front and i want a drag radial for them to use on the street/strip!

I hate the look of the 235, if it was a 235/45 or 50 then maybe I would get them

thanks for trying to help, but i think im gonna get the M&H DOT slicks and rarely use them

also, i updated the original thread because i guess it was confusing. i just want some 13" drag radials!!!!!

OHHHHH, I gotchya now...

 

It's funny that "I don't like how they look" is such a common remark about the ET street radials. Maybe Mickey Thompson should look into redesigning their aesthetics...

 

i think everybody was confused because i kept saying i have gforces on my slips.... but they arent the drag radials

i just wish there was more options in smaller sizes for the drag radials
