slicks vs radials vs rearend?
 

Thinking about picking up something for traction once the motor goes in. I've heard that with slicks theres a potential for the good 'ol G80 to boom? which would be more wise keeping the rearend in mind?

probably a tru trac...

haha thats not gonna help with traction.

Im trying to steer away from buying a new rearend

i hear ya. i want to dump my G80 asap, it seems it doesn't take too much to grenade 'em

Bite the bullet man. Any way you look at it your going to need a new rearend, right?? Why chance it, if your wanting a tire to hook....

TRU-TRAC= El bullet proofo :jest:

LMFAO! you never cease to crack me up :eyes:

alright so... look in to getting a rearend regardless?

now slicks or radials!? :chug:

Do you have an extra set of rims for the track?

I have both radials and slicks the drag radials are 275/40/17 m/t et radials and i cut a 1.74 60' with them the best with the 27x10.50x 16 et streets was 1.80 that day but it was probably cause im running on 3.42 gears. et streets do not hook worth a shit on the street the drag radials are a night and day difference on the street but not as good as the nitto 555r's on the street.

When you say the et streets didn't hook, is it at least a pullin spin where you are at least movin forward? while a regular radial will just sit in one spot while you boil them away to little gobs of goo

In my experience it seems to me that slicks are easier on rear ends/axles than drag radials are...

...but I'm not saying your G80 will survive with slicks and not with drag radials.
