17" vs 20" DRAG RADIALS
I am debating between 17" and 20" drag radials for my 2013 A6 ZL1. I am looking for info from anyone who has used either size.
PRO VS CONS THANKS |
Just put a set of Mickey Thompson ET Street II's on the stock 20 inch wheel, and am loving it. I cannot get these tires to spin! (On the streets) Haven't been to the track yet. The only downside is, with a wear rating of "0", they're not gonna last long. Oh, and mine are turning on the rim. Not much, only an inch or so after some spirited driving. But something that will have to be addressed at the track, I fear.

I know they're not suppose to. They are definitely slipping though.

Tire pressure to low? Only thing I could see to cause the rim to slip on the tire. The tire pressure is what holds the tire to the wheel unless you have too much wheel for the tire.
|
Can the ZL1 even fit a 17" rim stock? The SS can't, I don't think the ZL1 would be any different...

i have 18s up for dirt cheap

17" WOULD BE DRAG RACING ONLY. BOTH BOGARTS AND WELD MAKE WHEELS THAT WILL FIT . MT AND HOOSIERS HAVE 325/45/17 DRAG RADIALS
|
I am running my Mickey ET Radials at 18psi have not had the spin on the rim problem.

They did use soap while installing the tires on the rim. That's probably the problem. I think after a few heat cycles it will fix itself. I'll give it a week or so, then post the results. |
