good tires???

bosco · 11-14-2001, 02:06 AM

I have stock ponies on my car, 16 x 7 i think, i was wondering what is a really good street tire that gets good grip and actually launches?

Hey bosco, i already asked on another thread, but do you ever come down here to race at the track (rcr) id be intrested to see your car run.

Oh and tires, i have some firestone firehawks, ss20's i think, but when new i was cutting 1.9-2.0 60's with them, and they are small, but in reality, nothings gonna hold like a dragradial, or perhaps something soft like m/t e.t strs.

yea thats the one that we go to, its the closest one to myhouse, but ive only been there once. When i built this engine for my car back early june this summer, the rings never seated, so the car burns oil pretty bad, so we are finnaly getting around to fixing it this weekend, saterday, i am pulling the engine back out and replacing the rings, so hopefully in a few weeks ill take my car up there, while its nice butbefore it gets to cold to enjoy

i havent run it yet but im real curious to see what it rund and its power ratings too, ill let you know when i got, mabey we can meet up there one night

I do know a couple guys i met from austin with mustangs, all cool guys, alot of them make that trip every week, not exactly a short drive, but not too bad, i was gonna go tonight, and watch my friend spray his 85 coupe 347, but its raining

he had a race setup with a camaro ss running 12.2 on motor.

anyway, i hope you get it fixed, and we can meet one day, i live like 5 minutes away from there, so i spend alot of time there, when i have money

.....peace

btw, doesnt temple have a track? well thats probaly not any closer.

yea there is a track in temple from what i hear, but everyone i know that goes to a track goes to river city. actually my dad went a few weeks ago, and said they were racing some nitro cars and had a car with a jet engine in it, i saw one of those when i ws a little kid but wasnt all that intrested at the time, thought it was cool, but i didnt appreciate it back then. i wish i could make it up there more often. We are going to start work on it this week end so hompefully within the next couple of weeks ill makethe trip.

Yea, it jsut started raining here too about an hour ago, i was out driving around of course, with my home made slicks, i really need to get some new tires soon, kinda sucks, my car was running good today too, being cooler whether. i have considered m/t streets, but i think ill wait untill the summer, and ill throw those on a pair of draglites
