Which Tires??

darkhorse04 · January 30th, 2009, 11:25 AM

Hey guys, need to know what you have found to be the best hooking street radial tire. I just switched classes and its a heads up street car class that you can only run a 255/60/r15 or equivalent off the self street tire. No drag radials. With a treat wear of no less then "180".

brg radial t/a here also (used to get 1.8ish 60' in my cutlass back in the 80's) you can also (if you can run a bias ply) try mc creary. they make a street stock dirt track tire that works great, some guy's at our track still holding out on d/r's & using them.

nitto's are fine but only come in modern sizes. for what the o/p is needing to do he'll need to run the max size he can (as stated 255/60) so he can work the sidewall to his advantage as much as poss.

That sounds cool but the rules state it must be an of the self tire. No DR's, Road race or any other sort of tires. Because again the rules state a tire with no less of a tread wear rating of 180.

I have ran on the Nitto's before and they did good but Casper GT is right they are really all in your modern sizes and I really need a good side wall to hook up.

I have done some looking around making some calls and it sounds like believe it or not Futura's are what most people are hooking on the best. I also found the Goodyear Eagle GT II's that have a nice tread patch and a lower tread wear from all the other tires of the same size.

those mc crearys are off the shelf with a thead wear rating around 180 ish. I just threw them out there on a chance they might work for you.
