you should buy M&H 25x8.7x13. psi will depend on too many factors to get in to here, but start at 7-7.5 and lower them slightly until you get the right combination between launch rpm and slick psi.

what tranny are you running and what is done to your head?? that would be the deciding factor, but the 25's are still prbably the best for you. 25's will fit your car just fine as long as you have coilovers.

the 24.5 x 9.5 will still give me a desirable low gear with the advantage of a nice 9.5" wide foot print. i dont know if 25" heighth makes up for 9.5" width

How do you all think a narrow 26" tire would do ageinst the 25 by 8.7. Was
thinking about a 26 by 8" for my ride. Just how important is width on a drag
slick, always thought you wanted a long contact patch instead of a wide one.
A road race tire is just the opposite.
