It also helps the traction impaired folks, turning a larger Slick allows 100" of Cir., 12" wide rubber to bite into

 

How wide is my stock rims I have an 03 2wd 1500 16'' alum wheel

 

Plus it looks good on Front Engined Dragsters with mag wheels and whatnot.

 

I'm pretty sure they are only 7" wide. Thats what my stockers were. I wonder if I could score some 16x10s that match my 20's......hmmmm.

This tire looks to be very promising, its just missing a price tag!

I think they should be white walls too. Now that's nastalgic!

 

Did you ask them about "Slick Walk" with that tall of a tire on the big end of the track?

Anybody that has drag raced with slicks and Z rated tires up front knows what I mean.

I would think that slick that big would be a little sketchy with your street rated tires up front.I for sure would swap out the front 20's for the stockers when you track the truck.

Thoughts?

I would run your stock 16's up front.

He described slick walk a tad and I think he has stock wheels up front.Your BFG's might be a little too grippy.

Just advise from drag racer to drag racer.

 

who said I was a Drag racer, I haven't done anything like this, on four wheels, in over a decade.

I've searched google for slick walk, no go, what's the deal?

 

I'm not sure of the exact definition of Slick Walk but I assume it has something to do with mixing a bias-ply tire with a front radial tire and the wobbly, unsafe movement you get on the big end?

I noticed this in my T/A when running ET Streets and 17" Z rated tires up front. Not bad at low MPH but after 120mph and with only 10-12psi in the slicks things tend to get a lil "funny" up top and could easily send a newb into the wall if they start trying to correct for the side to side swaying.

 

Is it a speed issue or a mixed tire issue or both?
