Alright I'm looking to put some Slicks on my truck but unsure of what wheel size I should use. I want a 28" tall tire and have used a 28/10-15 and those have done great,but my truck is 4wd and will eventually put slicks on the front as well. I'm wanting a 15"-17" Slick, for those of you that have try'd a 16" or 17" slick how is the smaller sidewall working out with less room for roll?

 

If your thinking about running front and rear why not do drag radials? The cost of 4 drag radials is very close to 2 good slicks and you can do all 4 now. Plus they will handle the street.

 

I have thought about all 4 dr but depending on what size rim i go with the dr is almost a 100$ more a tire and I think they require a wider rim.

 

I have seen drag radials for around $180 a tire where you getting slicks for $80? Lol your right though sizes are super important.

 

I think u got everything *** backwards.. If I went with a 28/10/17 hoosier slick i can get them for 430 shipped if i went with the same size in a m&h dr there 540

 

I ran the 28x10 r16 hoosier slick on mine with the factory 16x7 wheel, ran a 1.60 and 10.7 et with them. But id sure run a radial on a 4x4, 4 slicks will eat up your mph

 

How do u think the dr would do compared to the slicks?

 

With 4 of them DR will do as good as two drag slicks.

Many have had good luck with DR on the rear. Much of that depends on your rear set up and your power level.

 

lol so why would I want to spend 1100 for 4 dr when I can spend 430 and get two slicks.. Anybody in here with real experience?

 

Because 4 DR will be somewhat streetable. Also on the street you can hook hard as hell with out a burnout. Also You would typically get a set of skinnies for the front if you went with two slicks.

Each set up has it's advantages. Radials are difficult to make work but with 4 they become much easier. Slicks are fairly fool proof but you typically loose a few mph and .1-.3 on a slick if you can get the radial to hook the same.

Two slicks will get the job done at the track and typically on the street. I havn't looked at slicks in 17" but I didn't think there were that many offered, I could be wrong. Plenty of guys are running 16" slicks and cutting super low 60' times. My 28x11.50/16 E.T. Streets dead hook on the street but I was only cutting 1.9-2.0 60'.
