OK...
The best...mickey thompson ET Streets, and hoosier quick time pro's
Then probably sportsman pro's, and m&h racemasters and Mcreary's.
You can drive in all conditions but very slow in the rain (up to 45)
i do it because the trade-off is worth it.
traction increase??? almost as good as full slick...my best on ET Streets is 1.79 60'
a radial would probably be about 2.25-2.50
expect to pay $150 per tire new....$150 pair/used.
if you you don't use tubes ($50/ a piece)
you may have to air up every 2-3 days.
your 14.2 will change to about a 13.5

------------------
4.10's,long tubes & 75 shot...Goes 12.50's

where do you live??
And what kind of rims do you have???
I would try to find a set of rears to match
what you have...then nobody can se the difference (plus still looks good at the track)
If your just looking for a set of anything....
i have some turbines i would sell cheap..25 bucks a pair..but w/ shipping it put's you to about $50
For the tires....try to find used on the classifieds here and stangnet.
If you want brand-new try Mcormick racing.
Phone number is 1-800-999-race
if that's not it then it's 1-800-999-drag
