thats what i figured, with stock revs and about the same trap i go to 5th.  im thinkin 24.5x8

I've seen a turbo spec guy use 24.5 x 8 x 15.

I believe Travis found those too small also.

And thanks for your earlier advice to me Patrick
I am going to try  the M/T 24.5 x 8x 15
w/ the VQ swap

There is some discussion of these tires toward the bottom postings
on this page
http://myspecv.com/f/view_topic.php?id=156419&p=8

ill let you know how it works out for me because we are pretty much gonna have the same setup.  at least very similar.  i planned on trying 26inchers to be sure i stay in 4th.  5th is a hard gear to hit and even worse to race in.

i ran 26 inch tall slicks when i was bottled.  it wouldnt have worked on teh street because it rubbed a lil on turns but that never stopped me.  mine were only 6inches wide though.

I think travis means this tire.

part no.3053    26.0/10.0-15

its 10 in. wide, I see I was wrong about the compound its listed as L8

were you able to hook up the 6" wide tire?

which 26" tire are you going to use now?

I see some 26" diameter tires listed that are only 8" wide
Barry

These are bias ply tires what do you run on the rear to go with them?


I use 25 in radials in the rear and 23.4 in radials up front to load the front end now.

My fronts now are bfg g-sports [at just legal tread depth barely] at the strip.

This obviously won't work with the v6.

With the 24.5 M/T’s up front I would like to try a  28 in diameter tire on the rear.

that"s this tire from M/T part no. 3002 28.0/4.5-15

looks like you could fit it on a 15x5" rim

edit 6/3/08
28" tire would not fit my car, also the above tire runs a 4.5in wheel width too skinny for me
I went with 26"x7.5"x15" sportsman tire you can mount on a 6.5in wide rim
tire weighs 16lbs
this is matched w/ an ET drag slick 24.5"x8"x15" up front

thats a fantastic 60ft time was that on these slicks , I hope.


this seems to be the slick of choice all the way to 300hp or so.

on what kind of rim you have mounted your 24.5 x 8 x 15 slicks? i`m planning to get some 24.5, my 22 x 8 didn`t work.

according to M/T you need a minimum of 7in wide wheels
for the 8in wide slicks

That`s right.
