Tires or drags

tireburner163 · 03-15-2005, 04:27 PM

If your gonna be daily driving on them, I would NOT get the M/T DR's they wear out VERY fast (6-8K miles) and are downright dangerous in the rain. I would get some Nitto drag radials if your gonna be daily driving on them. A P245 sized tire is about as wide as I would go on a Pony rim.

I am running a Ford Racing King Cobra clutch in my car and it works well for me. But also look into S.P.E.C. clutches. I'll be replacing my clutch with a SPEC stage 2 when my King Cobra comes out.

No they don't. The M/T's are also a MUCH softer tire that lasts for a very short tire. A buddy of mine went through a pair in a month, no big burnouts or anything, just driving.

Nitto's

M/T's

I dunno the M/T's wear pretty good, at least they did for me last year. I did 50+ passes on a set, still could've gotten a few more but car got smashed up before I could. And did a fair bit of street driving, not everyday, but on any sunny day that came up.
