  • possible M/T slick buy

    i have a friend who is offering me some M/T 28x9x15 slicks, not DRs but true slicks. he says he has about 12 passes on them and is offering them to me for $150. does this sound good?? will the height of 28" work with my 3.23 gears. i will need to find some 15" wheels although.

    150 for both? New M/T slicks in that size run 160-170 each.

        i think you would be better with a 26 in tall tire b.c of your 3.23's with the 28's i think it would make them act more like a 3.08 if my memory serves me right..
        from what i understand the with the taller gears guys runt he taller tire to compensate for those gears and if they had a 4.10 it wouldf act more like a 3.90 or something with a 28 inch tire instead of a 26 which would bring there rpms down a little at the end of the 1/4

          A 28 is to much tire for you. Not to mention you would be faster running a radial seeing as you have an auto car.

              Not sure if it matters to you but the 28x9 et drags are actually only around 27" tall. They are the only 28" et drag that will fit an f-body without modification (the "bfh" mod and fender rolling).

              I just ordered a set of ET streets (the bias ply ones) but I might still be interested in taking a look if your friend still has them.
