[QUOTE="Scuba-Matt, post: 10134248, member: 25255"] The width of the slick doesn't matter as much as the compound, construction and proper rim size. I use to run the 14" wide Hoosier on a 12" wide rim the QTP slick and never cut better than a 1.6 60ft. I went to a better slick and compound, Hoosier radial slick 15/30/10.5 C6 compound. Now I cut consistent 1.4 60 ft times. If you try and run a 14" wide tread on a 10" wide rim the contact patch won't be right. The center of the tire will be taking all the load. Giving a egg shaped tire patch. The result being less than average traction. The middle of the tread on the tire will eventually ware out from the improper rim size. Mickey Thompson makes a P295/50R16 drag radial II that would be a perfect match for you set up. [url]http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetRadialII[/url] [/QUOTE]
