Tire ?????

[bubba428]

okie dokey now, I just got 2 10x27 15 hoosier Drag slicks for $20, I already know it will be tight...but would it be dangerous to pop them on my 15x7 bird wheels?

[JerzLT1]

look at hoosiers website, it will tell you what size rim is NEEDED for that size tire.

[Mike]

too much tire for your motor but whatever you wanna do

[Tru2Chevy]

would they be 27x10.5x15 quick time pros?

Their site doesn't list a 27" tall full slick.

If they are QTPs, Hoosier's site says they need to be on an 8"-10" rim.

[bubba428]

Ha....good luck. Circle track compounds are nothing like drag compounds. And those are hards too. :lol:

yea I read about that....I'm gonna have either heat them up all freakin day or idk, they were on a mustang as drag slicks maybe thats why he thinks the car is so badazz

[Tru2Chevy]

If you heat them up to much, they will lose grip. Like I said, it's a completely different rubber compound. Drag tires are designed to be heated up a decent amount, that makes the surface of the tire sticky and provides good traction. Circle track tires are designed to be used at a constant temperature for extended periods of time.

..........damn.............o well I'll just grab the other set I was gonna use

Not to mention they could be staggered.

[bubba428]

they are 2 identical tires

Not necessarily....circle track tires can have the same number printed on the sidewall and have over an inch difference in circumference. A lot of it has to do with the way they were handled when new.

We were always measuring tires when working on Randy99's modified.

No, Randy runs dirt. Post them up on racing junk or something, someone might grab them.

:rofl:

:rofl:

your gonna eat that when I get my slips

[91DropTop]

you should get wider rims then you need and strech the rubber like all the old school VW's do

[bubba428]

HAHA nah, I'll just buy a set of DRs

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Bubba, I wouldnt mess with Dans car if you happen to line up, your not the only one who has been working on their car this winter.

[IROCdan330]

All I've done is add lots and lots of "unnecessary" weight to my car. :wink:

[JSPERFORMANCE]

thats right, your car will probably be slower this year

[bubba428]

I'm not afraid to lose

[Mike]

so if your not really shooting for 13s why did you call my truck out in that thread?

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Hey Mike I can get you a dual stage nitrous plate kit for that ls2 if you would like to insure victory..

[Mike]

nah, wouldnt want it being faster than my car :)

[bubba428]

so if your not really shooting for 13s why did you call my truck out in that thread?

because that was before I had my connection, now I've been working with this guy for a while I managed to salvage A LOT of performance parts. and I have tweaked with the motor every chance I got. tomorrow night I'm gonna find out how much it helped, get my time slip and adjust from there. I finally settled the carb/timing issue which the problem came from neither one. I beefed up the rear suspension a tad and thats about all I'm willing to divulge at this point in time

[ar0ck]

your gonna eat that when I get my slips

HAHAH

have rear brakes yet? All this power, how are you planning on stopping it?

[JerzLT1]

i think i just might be at the track tomorrow.... anyone else down? :)

[JerzLT1]

scratch that, just checked the weather.

[Mike]

bubba no one cares what you "disclose" or not, there is no reason to be a shady wanna be street racer about it

[bubba428]

ummm, sure, your kinda missing the point. just because the best I could do was a 15.0 5 months ago, don't mean the cars slow. it meant I had work to do, and just cause I didn't post about, doesn't mean it didn't get done

[JerzLT1]

im pretty sure the car is still slow :lol:

[Savage_Messiah]

You're right.

The driver is.
