I plan on running Drag Radials, probably not a slick.

As for the Trans that is the next step, plus clutch.

Then comes the engine.

drag radials and a stick do not do well together.. you will want an et street instead

[c0ncEpT]

You want a softer sidewall tire such as an slick or Bias ET Street. The sledge hammer really shocks the tires and you need a soft side wall to absorb a bit of that and not just blow the tires off.

I thought drag radials and ET Streets were the same. Cause I was looking at Mickey Thompson ET Streets, in 275/40/17

they are nowhere near the same and these guys are all right a stick car CAN work on a radial tire but until you cough up the $ for a nice set of adjustable shocks I'd move to a bias ply tire to get the car to hook well. A stick car shocks the driveline so much so that the stiffer sidewall of a radial tire won't absorb it and you'll spin them much easier than you would a slick.

you must be looking at the et street RADIAL.. here are the two tires.. you need the first for a stick car

So if I have 275/40/17s right now I have no idea to know what that is in standard?

That is millimeters so: roughly 10.8in wide. with a 4.3in sidewall making the overall tire height 25.6in.


Just for reference 25.4mm = 1in

[Fox Slaughter]

So they don't make on 26 tall on 17in rim

u must not have looked at the et street very well.. the bottom one is 26x11.5 x 17.. it will be a tad taller but thats not always a bad thing

[ThreeHonks]

the tire you are talking about is the link above your post sean

[Fox Slaughter]

Well it said 11.5 so I thought I need a 11.5 in rim but it says 8 to a 10.5 rim.

I'm pretty sure that is a tubless tire to according to MT site right?

So tires are sorted out now.

The car is going to be seeing Woodward and gratiot mostly might see the track a few times. I was reading ET Streets are not that good for driving on the street espeically if you hit rain. Should I still go with them?

If you want to hook yes. I would NOT drive them in the rain tho. Ever...

yeah i saw that after i posted

yeah no.. these would be a track only set of tires.. unless you dont drive in the rain or other bad weather.. no DR or slick would be good in the rain. nittos are the best but they also dont hook near as well tho. but those are stil a DR which are not very good on a 6 spd
