<FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey ! If U are using a stock rearend, go for the Drag Radials. Slicks or DOT slicks will break down your driveline,clutch ,gearbox etc. if U using the stock 8.8. I have killed one with slicks, but now i am using a stock 8.8 with SVO Girdle,new bearings and a professional installed 3.73 ring gearing. If U got money for a set of 9 or 10 inch alloys,use 275/50-15 BF Drag radials, or 235/60-15 with your 7inch rims. I use the last one on my car, and goes steady 1.93 sec 60ft. (15psi),with my stock engine. Drag radials are more stabile in higher speeds, and does not change your tire diameter in 100+ Mph...AND they could be driven to the track... I supose that if U got more than 400+ horsepowers, New modified driveline and slicks is the answer..<IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0"></FONT>

you can hook just as well with DRs. for a few bucks more get the ET streets. they both provide the same effects. im running 26x10.50/16 et streets and 255/50/16DRs

so you guys are sayin get the mickey tompson e.t. streets in place of the drag radials or slicks? i got 7 inch rims on it now</P>

7 in rim your limited to a narrow tire m/t/s 15x10.5x26s will work best. auctual tread 8.5inches. not good in rain, but for max.traction and still be D.O.T approved. max. lowest times get a slick.track only!
