Slicks and DR
Ok, I just got a free spare tire rim, so I am thinking about some slicks or DR. What size are the spare rims? What DR or slicks can I out on these rims? I have 29" 16 for the winter and 28" 18 for the summer. Would a 26" tire hurt me? What are you all running?

I wouldn't put them on the spare rim .. they are narrow. If you can get a pair of the alluminum factory wheels you can use them.
I just picked up a pair of 27x10.5x16 ET Streets. I'll let ya know how they run after the weekend.

The 27's were a little cheaper than the 26's. That's why I went with them. They should be the equivelant of running 3.90's in the rear with the street tires on.
The slicks are only about 20 bucks a tire more than the DR's. I say go ahead and get the slicks while your at it .. that why you won't have to wonder if your traction would be any better with the better tires.

Hey, do you guys think some 28x11.50x16 MT ET Streets would hold if i spray the 225 off the line? Right now i have to wait till i get up to @ 50mph and it still spins really bad. I know i could run faster if i just run a smaller shot, but thats no fun.
