i am looking into buying tires just for the track. what should i buy? i am also going to swap out the auto tranny for a manual later in the summer if that makes a difference. i am going to mount them on stock wheels.

 

If you want performance and you are going to use them @ the drags, Slicks are the only way to go. John@M&H

ok now i know that my car would have to make a certain amount of hp to make the slicks effective. is that true b/c i don't think i have the numbers for slicks.

 

What is your HP? John@M&H

 

Or what mph do you run through the 1/4?

 

i run 88-89 mph in the quarter.

 

Slicks aint gonna help you a lot at that power level

 

89mph trap? Just get a set of Azenis. Cheap and more grippy than stock and just about adequete for your power level and super streetable.

 

okay, but i am going to change my auto to a 5 spd. i should get my trap speed up to maybe 95. can i still run radials or will i need slicks then?

 

A sticky drag radial should still be a good performer at that point but future power increases would probably necessitate slicks.

 

Hmm, you guys are lucky. Over here you can't run slicks in street class.

 

In the southern hemisphere, we don't need no stinkin slicks
