Thinking about some slicks

[jderry]

My Nitto 555rs were cutting it stock converter. (1.75 60')
Now with my 3600 I don't feel they'll be enough, especially with bottle.

Any suggestions?

Would I be fine to get some slicks for my 16" rims?
Or should I start looking for 15s?

I have ET streets on my 16 inch wheels. 26x10.5s

Radials > Slicks on an auto car. You'll go faster on a radial. Sometimes it just takes a few passes before you can get a handle on them. The 555R isn't much better than a regular street tire IMO. Pick up a set of 255/50/16 ET Street Radials for your 16's. Thats more than enough tire for what your trying to do.

I use 26/11.50/16 on stock wheels. They also make them in 28's. if your going to be going to tracks like Lapeer and ubly the ET streets would be better than street radials IMO

Think ET streets will hold the 3600 stall and 100 shot fine?

I was spinning my rim inside the 555r with the 2200 stall, so I may need to lock it to the rim this time.

Can I use an 11.5 on a salad shooter?

[jderry]

Mickey Thompsons site say that minimum rim size for the 11.5 is 8.7 inches.

Can I use it on stock rims or is it a bad idea?

these are 11.5 on a 16 TA wheel

lol thats when it had the front bilstiens i revalved for the lt1 prokit and some track fun. tokico 5 ways full loose on the rear was the only way to try to get it to hook. still would 60 like 55 60 NA and like 48-49 on a 100 shot like that

[Nocooler]

whatever works man! - was that with the t56 or the 4l60?

[1BADAIR]

t56 that was was like 06 or so i think.

Just make sure you know what you're buying. There are the ET Streets(i have) and then the ET Street radials. You want the radials. THe Regular ET Streets are pretty much a slick, and work great on my T56. But you'd want the Radials for that auto.. and yes they will hook. I've seen 9-10 sec. cars running a 275 ET street radial and launching hard!

These guys?

They don't make an 11.5 in radial.
They also don't list a ET Street Radial II

again i disagree with the radials. do you have a strong axle and a great rear suspension and know how to use it? Radials are more prone to wheel hop if the suspension isnt right or if the track isnt good.
