if i could get a 15" rim to fit my car i would use a M/T ET DRAG size
22.0/8.0-15 or 24.5/8.0-15
M&H Racemaster also makes a 23.0/8.5-15 drag slick
stock for my car is a 27" tall tire, going to a shorter tire will let me use
3rd or maybe 4th gear in the 1/4 mile.
my car goes through the lights at 96 mph in 2nd gear.
my car would be quicker if i could run shorter tires.

Mickey Thompson also makes a pretty good Drag Radial with an R2 compound.
I'm having a hard time finding anyone who sells Hoosier in Canada. I can order from US but the duty is a killer.

My dad ran 26x10.5x16 ET Streets on his GTP with no tubes.
The Hoosiers are 26x9.5x16 but I see the MT are 1" wider.
Does he have to heat them up long in the burn out box?
Does he put them on at the track or drive to the track with them on. Just wondering why he went with Streets in stead of full on drag slicks.
