Default track and tires

Iam going to the track soon, and my friend just gave me a pair of ET Streets, 26x10.50 to use.. I think those will break my rear though on my car.. Is there a good chance they will break the rear on the launch?

depends on how hard you launch, keep the rpms low and you should be fine.

You can definately break your rear on those tires. Those tires are NOT playing around. lol

It could last 50+ 5000rpm launches
Or it could bust into a million pieces on the first 3500rpm launch. You've gotta be willing to take a gamble here.

The tires won;t hurt your car, but YOU might!

Just take it easy and try to get that John Force launch visual out of your head. Try slipping the clutch a little rather than trying to lift the front tires.
