Drag radial guys, need a lil help

[DerekDTP!]

Picked up some 15x8.5 convos, I'm lowered about 1.5 inches, and have 3.73s, fairly new to the wheel and tire game.. What size tire do you suggest I run? Brand opinions are welcomed too.

 

[Liln2o]

I run a 275/60/15 mickey

Find out whether a 26 or 28" tire would be better for going through the traps and pick which one suits you.

 

[Ill_W1N]

Whatever you get make sure it's a 28" tire so you can finish the 1/4 in 4th with your 3.73's.

 

[DerekDTP!]

Would 28in fit? Being lowered

 

[alex12gt]

28in fit on mine with eibach prokit

 

[DerekDTP!]

Ok, just want to make sure before I pull the trigger on a set lol

 

[alex12gt]

The mt street et pro is an awsome radial and hooks hard

 

[YellowBlaze11]

I'm running the 276/60/15 on mine with 3.73s good luck with the radial though I was disappointed the first time going to give it another try though.

 

[DerekDTP!]

I'll look into em, what exact size would fit the 15x8.5s.. Sorry for the newb questions, new to this lol

You NEED to check the offset and back spacing on your wheels. That will determine if a 28 will fit or not. I'm thinking the centerlines had 2.75-5 in bs on their 8.5's (if I remember but they may have new different sizes). A 5.5 bs on an 8 is barely enough to get 28's off the fenders on our cars. So a 5 on an 8.5 would stick out an inch. Check the wheels.

If your car starts running well you will be on the limiter in fourth through the traps with a MT82 / 3.73 gear combo and a 28" tire. Assuming you have a 7000 limiter.

Thats why i'm changing over to a 3.31 gear.

Yeah I love my 3.31s and 7800 RPM limiter I do 113 in 3rd and I am not sure how fast the top of 4th is.

 

[Nick Nasty]

top of 5th is about 155 with 3.31, i know that for a fact lol

Just saying if you go with a radial I would go with The 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson ET radial pros those tires worked extremely better than my ET streets

From what I've seen a 28inch bias ply tire is gonna be what u want to run to ser the best results being a stick car. Radials don't seem to hook as well, but if u have to have radials do MTs or Hoosier quick time pros
