New wheels and Tires

**Martin0660** · 03-28-2008, 01:54 PM

Well, the UPS guy was good to me today :D

27-10.50-15 ET Streets

And new Pro-Star wheels for the rear :D

So now the front and rear will match wheels wise ;) and these are a full 9" wide tire. Should help with my random traction issue. Another step to getting that front off the ground consistantly :D (saves front tires)

The UPS guy was good to me on Tuesday, 315-35-17 Hoosiers and another set of FR500's 10.5 wide. Now we wait for the weather to cooperate. Are the ET streets DOT?

Yep, Bias ply tires too. They wrinkle as good as a full on slick.

Well, I've broke just about everything there is to break on it :D I tried to bullet proof the rear this year (31 spline, etc), so it sould be okay, new drive shaft, has a solid clutch in it, and I think I got the engine issues resolved. My vote is for eating transmissions this year as the next weak link.

Ordered from Summit, like $163.00 a tire, but they dink you like $9 a tire no box fee.

those will look great on there , and i'll bet hook even better.

**no1fordgirl** · 03-28-2008, 07:19 PM

Looks good Bob!

Good luck on the track!

**Martin0660** · 04-01-2008, 07:13 PM

Got them mounted up, and on the car today. All of the effort for the SVO brake flip was worth while I geuss, got over 1/2" more tire a corner, another 1/2" clearance on the fender lip, more roll out, and FINALLY ProStars on all 4 corners :D

It better hook now for what I spent on carrier & axles (31 spline), studs, wheels, tires, plus all the stuff for the brake flip :D Seems like a lot to only get a 1/2" wider tire under there ;) Eh, I would do it again, this set-up fits so noce, and should make it through the season anyway ;)

I spent all my money on the rears so I need to do something to keep the fronts from wearing out ;)

I'm sure you've posted this before Bob, but what is your best time to date?

**87notch** · 04-01-2008, 08:53 PM

Looks great Bob

Best packages 1/8th 7.86 at 86.32, 1/4 12.38 at 112.78. Its been over 113 mph, but not ET'd to what it should. That partly why the taller / wider tires on on there this year. Even with the other ET Streets, traction hasnt been my friend. Typical 60's are real low 1.7's, every now and then 1.69. I have a shift before 60' 1-2, and go 2-3 pretty quick too. It dont ET even close to what the MPH shows it can. I hope i have that fixed now ;)

Video of the 12.38 pass with my patened 3-4 shift back fire (WOT against boost). Broke out for the loss on a 12.40 dial in.

Ya, I was running 12.13's at 113-114 with just a predator tuner(Needed a good tune to go with the other goodies). So maybe these new tires will get ya better times. Liked the Vid though sweet ride. Hope to see ya up there this year. Think my best 60' was 1.58.
