Also, keep radials at their normal inflation or you risk cupping...

True dat!

wow... i would only warm up my BFG's on the impala.... havent done it on the truck yet...
|
reg radial tires are designed to stay cool not hot. they will get slippery and greasy if you warm them up. it depends on the design and compound. drag radials are different compounds. whoever told you to do a burnout with reg radials doesnt understand tire compound or drag racing.

My GY Eagle GT2's would stick good if they were hot and sticky like your talking about. I'm not calling :bs: on what ya'll are saying. I just know from experience, if I could blow them loose, where it felt like it wasn't pulling at all, but was spinning it's ass off, they would hook afterwards. It was something about the tacky stuff I would guess that would stick to the road quit well.
I did that before the blower, so I haven't tried it with lots of power, but it would keep the Yank tt3k from spinning them, even if I tried. |
i have BFG Comp T/A HR4's .. and they seem to get a better bite when warm.
But I only did a minimal burnout to clean the rocks, etc. but i dunno for sure if its helping or not. |
Water also gets trapped in the tread of the tire and you drag it up onto the line with you. Then when you sit to stage the water collects under your tire.
|
no burnout just punch it to clean em off and make sure theres no water on them...do not go through the water and youll be okay. those gt2 aint gonna hook anyway...i had the same wheeltire combo as you and we both know those BOSS 305s are heavy as fu*k...my suggestion would be some BFG DRs on your stocks....save the bling for the starbucks parking lot!

so you guys are saying that your slimmy greasy Z rated radials that are designed to NOT get hot hook better then cold where they were designed to operate at? interesting.
