Putting slicks on 18's in kinda pointless, IMO, best thing is to use the stock 16 rims for the track, and put the slicks on those.

DAMN thats 1 hell of a confusing read! i can feel old info being pushed into the un used portion of my brain!

paulboy16

the AIM was pissing me off, kept wanting to update and add sh** I didn't want so I uninstalled it, It doesn't help that I've always hated AOL...with a passion lol...I'm on Yahoo right now though, If I'm on I've generally got Yahoo running...blazen351 on there too

1. You should just have went to GOOGLE like everyone else but I will tell you as well since I do not contribute much here. The skinny version is:

225 is the width of the tire in millimeters. Thats right, it is 225mm wide.

The next number tells you how tall the tire is. 45 is a percentage of the width.

The last number tells you what rim the tire fits on and I think you understand that since you are asking about 18's!

FOR EXAMPLE:
225/45-18 are:
225mm wide
45% of 225mm = 101.25mm tall
18 is the diamiter of the rim.

2. You would look rediculus with 18 drag radials on your stang. If you really want decent drag tires then drop down to 15 or max 16's and buy soft slicks. The softer the tire the more they are going to grip. But remember more grip equals more $$$ and they do not last long!

3. Just do a search around and look for a nice soft tire package from tirerack.com or somthing.

Good Luck!
