I know I've been wondering what those new MT 28x6R17 radial spoelrtsman S/R tires will look like, anyone seen them mounted up on a newer 5.0??
I do not run a tube on the front tires. In the rear I run a Hoosier 28x10 stiff sidewall slick with out a tube. I don't remember my air pressure. It isn't really low. It is around 14-15# if I remember correctly. Much lower and the the tire distorts too much. I have been 1.53 to the 60' that way. Still dialing in the suspension.
I do not really drive with the bias ply tires on the street much. I will throw the front runners on to drive to the track. Then I bolt the slicks on the car at the track. Just to save the tires. I am cheap. haha
Am I correct in assuming most people don't run TPMS in their drag wheels? I was on the fence about this and didn't order any because I wasn't sure if they would work with the M&H front runners.

Those are the ones I run. They run a little smaller than advertised.I just ordered the Hoosier Pro Street 26x7.5 R17's for my fronts

What is the proper weld rts rim size and backspace to use on the front of the brembo package mustang gt?
I assumed it was a 17x4.5?? But i called a place today and said a 17x5" wheel was supposed to be used? How are you supposed to get a M&H frontrunner bi-plias tire that is 28x4.5x17 to stretch over a 5" wide wheel?? Is this even safe?
Is there a specific lug nut that works better than the stock one?
With what wheels? I have the SVE Drag wheels and the oem lug nuts work fine, However when I bent the factory wheel studs and replaced them with ARP 2.5" studs I had to go with an open style lug which I found on Latemodel Restoration for cheep. Also I was told at the drag strip while going through tech that with Drag Radials or slicks your required to run open lugs so they can see what size your studs are.
SVE Drags. I was wondering if it was necessary to install ARP studs. How did you bend your stock studs? Were the stock studs easy to remove when you replaced them?

Lookin' good BlueSmokem. How does the car ride with them? I have the same front runners on order. I will be running them with 28" ET Streets on the rear. I read somewhere that someone with the front runners experienced minor front end shake. Is there any truth to that? What valve stems are you running?
Well I went to Orlando last night to test my new tires and updated tune and my nitrous solenoid wasn't working so no new PB passes. I will say that the 28" bias ply front tires defiantly have some sway under braking on the big end of the track kinda nerve racking the 1st pass. Should have waited and got 28" radial fronts!!
What was your short time and did you pick up more mph than normal with the 28" tires out front and back?
