24.5 x 9 x 13 Mickey Thompson ET Drag.

You will have a much more reliable car running on slicks than on drag radials. Slicks are a LOT more forgiving that a radial tire can be.

Thanks I kinda knew that with a slick size but if I am able to make it to a race and run turbo street I have to run a dot approved tire. What would be a good size dot approved drag radial that would not affect my car and go good with my gearing if that makes sense. Thanks again
