What tires are best to hook 800+rwhp roll racing? Starting @ 40-70mph

[GM2Ford]

I don't mind a little bit of spin at 40mph+ just as long as they grab within a second. So if any drivers here have experience with rear tire combos and what works best at this power level or close to it, please chime in.

I had a couple options...

1. I was thinking of maybe a 15x10/11 wheel with 28" tire. Hooiser Quick Time Pros.
2. 17x11 or 18x11 with 315 30/35. No clue what tire though.

For roll racing I'd say try some mickey thompson et streets or other drag radials

I run M/T ET streets and they hook just fine from 40

My buddy makes 700+ and uses Mickey Thompson ET street.

At that power level Id go with 15s. If you get a bigger rim, I would go 17 as they have the widest selection and better prices from what I can tell.

I make around 670-700, I have a set of Hoosier quick time pros I'll be trying. 28" tire on a 16" rim.

I've been thinking about trying some Hoosier slicks. I have 295/55/15 MT ETs and my car just lights them up even at a 60+ roll. I have to pedal it like crazy.

I'm thinking I need to swap in some coil overs in the rear with softer than stock springs to let the rear squat more. Perhaps softer springs up front too. I think some weight transfer is really needed as tire alone seems to struggle at these levels.

I think your right with the suspension components. Mine must squat a decent amount, I had to roll fenders flush on passenger side. Some of its because of the 18x11's of course. I also added bilstein b8 rear shocks.

I also had to roll my fenders to get those 15s in there. I'm on the stock coils cut down and stock shocks in the rear so I'm sure that's not doing me any favors. The car does squat some as I've seen in videos and pics of my car launching and I can see some tire rub at times which confirms the squat but its very little. I think it needs some real squat like a drag car lol

I'm in the same boat as Malcom... 700 plus and 25" MT ETs... 60-70 and they spin. But I didn't air them down much.

 

[mkb116]

Oh geez how do you edit your post in this new stupid format. 15" not 25" haha

I was only running about 15 lbs of air pressure in them on the street.

MT ET Streets is what we put on all the hellcats we do, and they typically make 800-850whp. Hook rather quick.

 

[roy_1031]

I'm at 720whp and my 315 wide Hoosier DR's dead hook a 2nd gear 40 roll. They almost hold 1st gear. I also have Viking dual adjustable shocks so the car squats a fair amount.

The hellcats have totally different suspension and weight etc. Can't really compare. I was racing a hellcat recently that was on nittos on the factory 20" rims and he was dead hooking. From a light he'd scrub down some rubber for about 10 feet and then straight hooking. Highway rolls he was instantly hooking and I was peddling it and laying dual black lines down the highway at 100+ mph lol.

Just adjustable shocks with the stock springs? That works for you? If shocks alone make a big difference I may need to swap in stock un-cut springs in my rear to get enough clearance to squat with these big tires. I measured them around 28.5" tall. That was part of my idea of going to coil overs in the rear so I could raise it up just as much as needed but then my shock options are probably pretty limited.

idk what you guys are doing, I can make my car spin its ass off if I want to, and I can make it dead hook if I want to. Driver input has an insane effect.

nothn will bite better then the MT Pro Bracket. Their ALL useless in the rain and aint no one lookn to corner with a DR so if u wanna bite this is the tire.

 

[SVTsteele]

I have 305 et streets on my turbo cobra, made 784hp with 3.15 gears i hook in 1st.

 

[SVTsteele]

But if there is a cheaper street tire that hooks 800hp for roll racing id like to know the answer to that as well?
