Guys what's the best tire combo for 18" rim and what 60ft times are u guys pulling on them ?

Camarojt · 10-06-2013, 11:28 PM

MT ET Streets work great on 18" wheels. I cut 1.56 with only 370hp bolt on only car.

Just texted him your time slip lol. Chevrolade is running them 3.91s FYI

That's badass Man U got a very fast car for bolt ons
I ran that same time with a 1.7 60' but at 117 cammed lol

I think I may get the forge stars soon instead of welds

Thx. That's about what I've seen 3 other mild cammed cars run 115-117mph.
I'm still scratching my head on how some of these guys in my class are making so much MPH?

I know neg DA is maybe 1 extra mph.
I haven't figured that part out yet?

Rhino79 · 10-07-2013, 12:17 AM

I'd bet the da will help mph more than dragtimes may indicate.

Camarojt · 10-07-2013, 12:20 AM

I thought so too but we were at about 175DA and mph just isn't there. Only way I can improve is DA and slight tuning. Got a long way to drop to 11.59? Ima keep chipping away at it tho.

Chevrolade · 10-07-2013, 12:22 AM

So how did u like those mickeys on the street? How did they act ?
Do u know anyone running the 325/40 18 MH? I really like mh I have used em before but not sure if that size will work

Camarojt · 10-07-2013, 12:28 AM

Mine drive fine on the street. I've driven them in rain and didnt have an issue. I don't use them as a DD tire tho just Bc I have another full set of street wheels.

yes streets of Mexico that is

Camarojt · 10-07-2013, 01:31 AM

Well I never got a chance to do a burnout worth a Sh!t on the street to get them hot enough, but even still if I fast rolled the throttle, they still held good.

18" Mickey Thompson's work well on the street and the track. You can't go wrong. You will never go back.
