Which slicks should I go with? M&H slicks? 26x10.50x15 sugg. Rim size 8.0 O.D. 26.3 tread width 10 compound HM-11 $169.99.... Hoosier 26x10.0x15 sugg. Rim size 9.0-10.0 O.D. 26.4 tread width 10.0 compound D06 $172.99...and is there a place to get them cheaper? Ima mount them on summit star or the smooth star polished

Im going with MT slicks with a l8 compund next year.

 

[Scott2001GT]

how much power u makin?

 

[F8L GT]

do a price comp. between jegs and summit. start a cart and follow it all the way to the check out final price with s&h and see which is cheaper. thats what i do

 

[F8L GT]

Your already converted to 31 spline correct?

 

[02gtmustang]

Na I'm not going to... I'm just going to swap in some moser or similar strength after market 28 spline's... And I want the best tire..regardless of my hp...it will eventualy be in the 400's on the stock short block and later 450 or so after I drop in my mmr shortblock ...

I suggest these Mickey Thompson 3053 Mickey Thompson ET Drag Slicks, this is what i will be running next summer along with papasmurf

 

[F8L GT]

when you start getting up to 400-450, i wouldnt keep the 28 spline even if they are after market axles. its cheap security to just do it right the first time and up grade

 

[02gtmustang]

But them there are fer motor cicles.... Lmao...supossed to sound *******...

 

[F8L GT]

How do you figure? they are not for drag bikes, they are a race slick

 

[F8L GT]

it shows it on a bike wheel yes, but they are actually for a car. most bikes use drag slickes designed for cars. click on the picture and you will see it on a weld prostar

Na look at it the compund listed is a motorcycle slick...

 

[02gtmustang]

3 splines make that much of a difference?

 

[F8L GT]

Na look at it the compund listed is a motorcycle slick...

dude, check it again, the compund is L8 ( general use)

 

[F8L GT]

3 splines make that much of a difference?

:yes

 

[02gtmustang]

Well what exactly could happen? Snap off at the shaft?

 

[F8L GT]

yes, and hopefully your brake caliper bracket will hold the axle in and keep it from walking out of the housing.

 

[02gtmustang]

So I take it the 31's aren't just more spline count but thicker and beefier too?

 

[F8L GT]

:yes

 

[F8L GT]

looking at the end of the axle where the splines are, theres more meat in the middle with more splines than there is with less splines
