they gotta be street legal tires, because im going to use them to get to the track and back. whatchall think?
anyway, I think your best bet is to get some used rims + tires to drive to and from the track, keeping your et streets safe from road debris

I have tubes in mine but I haven't had to use screws yet. I make the tires withcrayon to the valve stem and so far everytime I got the the track they haven't spun at all on the rim.

Hey I'm going to be at cecil on most wednesdays this spring and summer, we should meet there a couple times.

I have the bias plys, they are much better then any drag radial in my opinion. A lot more flex to absorb the shock from the clutch drop so you don't spin off the line.


I work late friday so it would only be rare occasions I could make it to cecil. Just to much rush hour traffic to go over 695 and 95. I'm off on wednesdays so I'll probably just be there then mostly and maybe some saturdays and sundays but you will definitly see me there a couple fridays.
