TIRE SYGGESTIONS DRAG SETUP

[manny231988]

hey guys so I finally pulled the trigger On a set of Weld wheels went with the S71b on the front 18x5 and Weldstar 15x10 in the back, I’m trying to get the best grip at the track and wanted to see what y’all guys recommend for tire I was looking at some bi ply tire any help would help thanks

M&H 28" bias ply DOT fronts, ET Street R bias ply or Hoosier QTPs bias on rear, 28" minimum.
I run the fronts currently and have 17" bias MT Rs ready to mount but the rears depend on your gearing and power.
I personally want to go tubes on rears to give added stiffness as these heavy stick cars want a stiff bias ply tire.

Seems like the M&H is really the only option up front and Hoosier qtp rear are a good choice I never dunked my car but I would guess 700-750 rwhp and I’m on 410 gears

Have you done the modifications to fit the 15x10 welds?

Yup I changed brakes to a 2012 gt500 brake setup and did the sway bar relocation brackets, then I found out I needed to relocate the shock cuz I have pp pack, don’t feel like drilling in the shock mount, so I got Viking crusaders. Thanks for the link.

We run the Pros on auto cars, but these stick cars need a bias ply wrinkle wall.
ET R bias or Hoosier QTP.
Still on fence about tubes for stiffness with these heavy beasts.
