Sticky Tires???

moponys · 11-18-2002, 04:49 PM

Besides getting ET Streets and new rear wheels or Drag Radials, are there any other sticky tires on the market for 18" wheels?

The 18" drag radials that are out won't fit on my wheels (18x8) because they are too wide.

I've heard that Kuhmo ecsta mx's are pretty sticky.

Thanks,

Tony

If you plan on street racing or racing at all, I don't see any "regular" tire out there sticking well enough on the street or track to keep you from spinning. Just get some drag radials.

I agree...I'll have to buy some 17" wheels for the back and along with the drag radials.

Thanks,

Tony

no problem. Even though you'll be the cool guy riding down the block with two different wheels.lol

Yeah it will look a little funny but I figure if I can find the same wheels I have now but in a 17", it would be that bad. Plus I'll probably only use them when I go to the track...:-)
