30 on the street, start at 15 at the track then go a little up or down depending on how you hook.

I've run slicks with out tubes as do many people. Just make sure you mark the tire and rim to make sure your not spinning therim in the tire.

thanks, now i just got to hope my new ones dont catch my inner wheel well like the old ones. I was running 28 x 10.5 10 inch tread 11.7 section width , i am hoping 26 x 10 would solve it. 11 section width and 9.6 tread.

Winnipeg, I see your from Saskatoon, we're practically neighbors! The tires look really crazy on the car, but I can see them picking up alot of stuff off the street with that soft rubber......oh well who cares it's a drag radial. Traction vs. tread life, for me traction always wins that battle.
