What are you guys doing to hook on the street?
 

My truck is just about useless on the street right now......

Case:

1. I can't take off fast, truck will just spin and get sideways
2. I can't punch it going 40, 50, or 60 or so, truck will get sideways
3. As soon as it downshifts it over, boost goes up, tires blow off, truck steps out:bang:

.....about the only thing I can do is roll into the throttle or drive it slow....
The only saving grace is it drives damn near stock so its very manageable at slow speeds/not much gas pedal

What in the hell are you guys doing to get traction?:confused:

what street tires are you running?

305/50-20 BFG KDW's

Welcome to the useless street truck club. I have tried the 20 inch drag radial and it hooks better than any street tire. What sucks is that it is only 28 inch tall. I have been thinking of some Mickey Thompson 30 inch tall on 15 inch rim.

PIcs of truck?

arent you doing a flip kit now though? that 28" tire will look more at home now. i run the 555r. theres no comparison to any of the other "performance" tires i tried that alot of guys on this forum preach. i want to try the mickey t et drag radial now. i hear it's even better. when the tires were new, i could roll into the throttle on the street and be into a 100 shot by the end of first gear and never loose traction. the older they get, the looser they get though.

i just don't put alot of power in my truck, hooks great!!

I grip with 295/40/20 Hankook Ventus ST RH06 but I'm not nearly at the same power level as you.

Have anyone used mickey thompson street radial II 315/45r16, I have a pair on the way .

I just mounted up a set of 295-60 r15 (30in tall) micky tompson dr today and bolted them up, I figered id give them a try and i was vary happy with the way they hooked, on my old street tires it would brake loose at 60 sometimes and now i can do a 20mph hit and it stuck, I dont have near the power but i do have a 4.56 gear and a super sport 4000 yank. I had a set of 28 by 11.5 hoosier quick time pros before and these do better. This is the best dr iv seen perform and again im vary happy.
