the rear axle had a HUGE load on it. there were straps directly over the axle pulling it strait down. if you look close at the vid of the rear tire you can see it jumping around a lot. we tried 26psi, 32psi and 40psi and none of that worked.

seems like you really need a quality wheel/tire combo, have you figured out what you want yet?

Is your G-tech telling you anything about the gains?

Very Cool, If anyone needs a good set, it'd be you. That's a great combo.
If you go the less expensive route, you will you still get the wide, sticky rubber? And maybe go with a less expensive wheel?

yes, right now i think that is the best rubber for my set up. i wish they were taller or even better yet those new mt dr's but 29+" tall.

So, you want 4 wheels, all the same size, but 2 drag radial tires in size 305/45-18 for the back wheel only? I'm on AIM too - GNjohnny5.
