has anyone tried 26x11.5x16 et street tire those hook hard as hell.

if your only trapping 99 mph i cant see you spinning 275 40 17 mt drag rads. What psi were you running??

 

Well my sig time is for my other truck..rcsb i'm asking for my 04ecsb...
i was running em at 14lbs in each tire. trapped 103 i think. hot out full street weight so it could trap a good bit higher but on the day i ran it...thats what it trapped at.

 

mt drag rad with 14 yah way to little 22-25 they hook.

but just reading what you guys are saying if your happy with 28 inch tall tires keep em. Just wondering why some are running so high and yet traps under 110.

 

Honestly i'm not partial to any tire right now. I want whats gonna hook and get me down the track the fastest ya know.
That was the first time i even took my truck to the track in over a year. Been having fun with the bolt on rcsb lol.

 

Hey Tony - Do you think your buddy would let me try them out just on the street. The ET streets are almost bald and I need some tires before the next time I go to the track.

 

Do not forget gear reduction from transmission? If I can stay in first gear longer I will run a better ET with my 30" over my 28". Which with taller tires you will stay in first and second longer before hitting direct drive third. My 60' are the same for both 28" and 30" 1.60 to 1.61. Taller tires help my ET's about .200.....

 

so what tire should i be running
4.11 - 228r - pulley - ls6 intake - lt's - 3800 converter - cai
best to date is in sig!!!!!! stays consistant around that 1.73/1.74 and traps always 103!!! right now im running a 28x11.5x16 MT ET street

 

I'm going to be running m/t 255/50R16 dr. Stock cammed 5.3, 3.73's and 3200 stall converter. I'll see how it turns out.

 

Here's the thing, while the tires might be good enough to hook, it doesn't mean the track always is. I don't have experience with sticky tires on my truck. Heck, it still has the factory white letter Generals... However, I have run sizes from 25" to 29" on my Impala SS. It was just a bolt-ons car, but those bolt-ons included 4.10s and a hard hitting 9.5" Vigilante converter that flashed to 3800. It's been known to pop the left front tire up an inch on a good launch.

The best 60' time I was able to get with 26x10.5 MT ET Streets was a 1.799 in good track conditions. The tires hooked great, however, my car had 2 tons of weight transfer. The front end would come way up getting a little air under the tire, but it didn't have enough power to stay up. The front would come down and pull the back end up letting the tire unload and spin a bit.

I put headers on and switched to 28" 275/60R15 BFG DRs on the same 15x8 Draglites and ran in even better conditions and was able to get my sixty foot time down a tenth to 1.699. I also picked up 4.3 tenths, but only .9mph by the end of the track. I still think it was spinning a bit on that run though. The front end definitely came up and got air, but the front didn't drop so quick because I was able to keep the power applied for longer.

 

What psi is everyone running in their slicks?
