Slicks need opinions fast

Mickey Thompson Pro Street Race Tires and Rims

I talked him down to 500.00 are these worth it? Would they even fit on my 88 notch?

Those don't have a snowballs chance in hell fitting on your car. 29x18.5 should have been your first clue.

nolife · April 22nd, 2009, 12:31 PM

Not specific to this set which won't fit your car anyway but "older" hand me down slicks can start getting a little hard and dry and are boardline useless.

They aren't slicks, they are Mickey Thompson Sportsman street tires. Not an ideal tire for racing.

MaroonNotchback408 · April 22nd, 2009, 01:16 PM

so no good? Would they fit if i got my axles shortened?

grnstang · April 22nd, 2009, 01:19 PM

don't get them

MaroonNotchback408 · April 22nd, 2009, 01:48 PM

ok thanks.

86er · April 22nd, 2009, 05:47 PM

you need either a 26x10.5 or if you have some work to the motor and some gear out back a set of 28.x10.5

88Saleen · April 22nd, 2009, 06:14 PM

lol yeah those are huge, you dont nee something like that, let alone they are street tires.

MaroonNotchback408 · April 22nd, 2009, 07:04 PM

I figured the bigger the better lol...

88-gt-t-top · April 22nd, 2009, 07:41 PM

not always the case, I have a 26 8.5 15 and they work just fine. full slick

nolife · April 22nd, 2009, 08:30 PM

Here's an idea of what they would look like, the work involved would be FAR more than the cost of the tires

You don't need tires that big to run "fast".

ahh yeah so i would have to cut my axles? yeah fuck that... Is there any cons to cutting them?

flattusmaximus78 · April 22nd, 2009, 10:08 PM

Biiger can be better. But not with a 100 percent all season tire.

88Saleen · April 22nd, 2009, 10:09 PM

Done the correct way, with all the correct modifications to axles and such, but if your put making that much power, thats no use in a 15" wide rear tire, it would actualy hurt you becasue your motor is not powerful enough to turn them like a 800-1000hp car does.
