I just purchased a set of M/T's 24 x 4.5 x 15 and I will still sucking getting off the line, I was just reading around here and I saw that most people are recommending less than 10 psi,I was running 12 so maybe that was a factor but are the tires just not really great to begin with? heres my setup , 92 hatch , b16a2 I/H/E and a 50 shot on a stock clutch , Guys I was still chirping in 3rd , any opinoions on these tires or prior experience ?!?!??!?!?!

 

here are the numbers I pulled

R/T....609 1.131 .637
60......2.496 2.489 2.271
330....6.551 6.575 6.240
1/8.....9.787 9.882 9.483
330.....76.51 74.06 76.81
1000....12.534 12.707 12.220
1/4......14.859 15.108 14.589
MPH....97.12 94.13 97.20

 

Get some M&H.

 

4.5?

 

I hope you mean 24x8.5. Those are way too big for the power you have and a stock clutch. Even a 20 inch slick would eat that stock clutch on a 50 shot.

 

first thing i would do is replace the clutch..stock clutch wont hold up wit slicks...i would put my tire pressure at 6or7 psi wit slicks.....i wouldnt really go that big of a slick but since u alrdy have them use em...wit only a 50 shot i would of gotten a 22 instead of a 24.5..and maybe ur not launching the car at high enough rpms..try launching it at like 6500 rpm and slip the clutch...dont pop it!

 

and 15 inch is a big rim...u should get 13's..that would be a good set up for what ur trying to do

Are you sure about that size?
those are skinnies.

 

yea that wiodth sounds too skinny, you cant get a good contact patch wit those

 

I say he's not making the power....look at those trap speeds. I'd check your bottle pressure

 

whats up with the 60ft.......

I thought the same. I am thinking to use a 22" slick and run about 8-10psi of air pressure in them.

 

I pulled 2.3 second 60' times with a D16Y7 with I/H/E and Z10 bars on 195/60/14 azenis.

just giving ya something to compare with

 

your running skinnies, get real slicks. How wide is 4.5??Isn't that the size of a spare??

 

My best 60' on my 205/50/15 cheap Brand-X tires was 2.2... And this was at LACR no less. Those slicks are way too big for your car. 20+/-" for a mild NA car are perfect, 24+" slicks are way too tall.

 

i hit 2.1's on 13 inch stock no name tires lol way to be running on tires the size of spares.....

 

Do a small burnout in the water box and then a big one after. Hold the E-brake up with the tires in the water box to help you hold the car still. Make sure you smoke the tires for a minimum of 3-5 seconds. The rubber should look like a used pencil eraser if you know what I mean. 12psi should still net you some good times. Stock clutch may be slipping though.

Good Luck!

 

everyone is right, those tires whether u stated the right size or not are way too big for a stock setup. u need to drop down to 22s if not go to 20s for a B16 w/NOS setup. u dont have any power to pull 24" tires.

 

24's are way too big for the power you're producing. Try some 22's or even 20's.
