Default New track tires

the nitto 420's and 22" rims were ungodly heavy, so I got a Christmas present to myself. M&H 30x14x16 and eagle alloy 16x10 rims. They are 44lbs a corner. my 22's were 100. Lost 56lbs of rotating mass per corner. Very excited to test them out next weekend!

How's that Tq steer?? Lol hope you've got sleeves or hiems. That's gonna put a pretty good strain on those steering parts.

Damn I bet you pick up 2-3 tenths from the weight loss. I bet you pick up a bit more just because the M&H tires are supposed to be better. Good luck love seeing fast smoke blowers.

Don't have any torque steer unless one of the front tires beaks traction. Front end has a straight centerlink and tie rod sleeves.

I hope I pick up some time, now I can spray a little bit of nitrous on the bottom end as well.

That motor is so strong the weight may not even matter, but the tire height should really make a difference.

Please post up the results. Great setup !!!

The freaking thing might take off with so much less weight.
