For slicks MT/ET Drags @ 8x26x15 work if you have 3.73 or a 4.10 gear.
9x28x15 also can work well if you have the gearing for them 4.30 or better still 4.56.
My 83 GT in pictureruns a 9x28 w/ a 4.56 and has a best 60 foot time of 1.65.
Which is hauling a@# for a car with approx 300 HP.

i kinda wanna avoid micky thompsons though, i got a friend who runs a set on his 73 340 dart, andhe switched over from some hoosiers and lost a bit of the traction he had at launch

if you say so bud...

keep in mind...thats a dart... not a stang. I personally don't like hoosiers.

other than the leaf springs in the rear its not much different from a mustang.i dont see how the difference in the cars body would affect the tires so the fact its a dart isnt the problem.ive never heard anyone say a mickey thompson is awsome on a mustang but shouldnt be used on a dart because its a dart.

I avoid hoosiers because I had a really bad chunking problem with a set I had

I have actually had my best luck with BFG's

joe_5.0

whats chunking?

AdderMk2

when chunks of the tire fly off... you finish a run, hear a humming noise, and go look at the tire.

and it has huge craters in it

does BFG make a tire that fits a stock rim?
