Any one running proxes TQs? and what kind of 60 foot times are people getting with there DRs, with factory suspension, preferable 99-04 so i know what im looking at. Also anyone use the new NT05 yet? also trying to figure out if the TQs are better than the 555s. I want to say the TQs are more in line with the NT05 but i might be wrong...

 

I would assume the proxes would be better than the older 555s but not sure.

PS your mods in your sig seems like the should be worth more than 225hp?

 

He had his done a mustang dyno , usually when people get dyno runs on there they start wishing they had a LS1.... pansies.

 

Proxes TQ's are a 00 treadwear but they hook just ok. The NT05R's I think is what you are referring to here and they hook like MAD!!! A guy on SVTP is cutting better 60's with the NT05R's in 315 35 17 than he was with hoosier drag radials and slicks on 15" wheels. If you are getting a drag radial for track use only i'd get either the NT05R's or the newer design MT's. Toyo TQ's are just ok. They do better on the street than they do at the track from what I've read on SVTP. They are, after all, a drag radial designed for an independent rear suspension car though. NT05R's get my vote...just saying. And the NT05's are not drag radials, they are meant for the twisties. NT05R's are the drag radials. Its just one of those pet peeves that i see all the time so I just feel the need to correct it. lol

 

I see guys in the 10s on a regular basis on MT DRs.

Edit: not many new edge mustangs, but it gives you an idea of what they are capable of. With the right suspension, I don't see why you shouldn't hook 1.6-7 range on them

 

I was refering to the 555s only because my friend got them, but i beleive that the TQs will be better than the 555s. Im sure they wont be as good as the NT05 but they also only cost me like 180 a tire instead of 250 plus. And since im running them on my factory rims i dont want to spend much. If they were my 18s i would have gotten the NT05. And honestly without suspension id be happy running a 1.8-1.9 i kinda dont want to run better than that right now....pretty sure my axles wont take the abuse, dont feel like upgrading to 31 spline yet.

 

also if i could pull a 1.6-7 id be easy 12s based on what i ran with factory rims before i broke the posi, then i rebuilt and put 3.90s so im shootin for 12s anyway .

$171/tire...how much are you paying for Toyo TQ's?

 

my problem isnt finding them cheep, its keeping them cheep. I cant pay cash for stuff right now meaning it has to go on my schwab account. They add freight and of course thier mark up, and its over 200 a tire, seemed like 250. Sounds like a rip off, well it is. But money talks, and i dont got it. I know i could get them for cheeper than what they found. I paid 178 a tire for the TQ, and thats cause they are a proxes dealer.

 

If you can hook 1.6-1.7 you should be in the 12s easy based on your previous times
