Ok, so I am going to be taking my car to the strip once I get my turbo back from being rebuild and was thinking of getting some slicks for run when I start going to the track more. I didn't know what a good size slick would be to run without the rubbing. Another question I had is where can I find slicks to fit on 14's and also where can i find some good 15 drag wheels and slicks?
 
best size is 14's..you can go with 15's but it woll probably bog unless your making real good power..
just fit them to your stockies
 
Check all your stuff and make sure your NHRA legal for slicks. It would suck to spend all that money on some nice tires, then find out you cant run em cuz you havent met all the safety requirements.

I got a set of them too, havent put thempon yet, theyre shaved to 3/32nds I cant wait to see how they hook up.
 
thanks for all the info guys.

one more question though. If I don't go with slick, what it a good sticky tire that I can get for the stock steelies?
 
Hoosier DOT Drag Radials P225/50R15 might have fitment issues ,Nitto NT555R Drag/street Tire (205/55R14 85V),Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial P205/50R15 ,Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial P225/50R15 might have fitment issues, Nitto 555r 205/55R14 , again keep as close to stock dia. as possible . all will give better traction the normal street tires , other options are roadrace and auto cross tires , but they are not the best thing to drag race on .
 
drag radials...any kind really, but check tire compounds and remember,,the harder the tire,the less the grip but the longer lasting
and the softer the tire,the more grip,and short lasting
 
^ :werd: Climate is a factor too. If your in a cold area its gunna be difficult to warm up a hard tire, and keep it at temp.
 
These guys have all given great advice....but remember one thing, the harder the launch and the more traction ya get, the more things are going to break.
