What Tyres Do I Need?

[MJS]

I have 454.2awkw and am finding it hard to get that torque

to the ground.

What tyres MT, nitto, BF etc and set up do I need to turn all that time and coin into a

decent E/T??

P.s No torque convertors but would talk diff ratios, considering FG 08

with ZF Trans and I believe 2.73 final drive....

Good tyre! My second run 1/3 track the boost kicks in and im all over the shop at about 100kph, not something I want to experience again. Third and last run [email protected] with slow start and traction ON slipping most the way. 454.2awkw should put down lest an 11, I need advice on a good drag tyre!

So that answers my question thankyou, 275 is adequate? Does rim size matter

275/40/17 Mickey thompson ET street. They're drag strip only.

MT ET Street or Nitto NT05R on 17X9 inch wheels for the strip, on the street you may need a semi like Toyo R888's or Hankook Ventus RS3.

What size wheels do you have on the car now?

I have standard FG 18'' with Hankook Ventus R-S3. 245/40/18.

Good street tyre just didn't hold on the track!

Just go straight to the MT ET Street 275 40 17 on a 17 x 9 wheel.

The Ventus RS3 are a semi slick and should have been ok at the track, maybe they're not wide enough.

realistically, how long would you expect R888's to last? a good 10 000 km outta them?

are they driveable in the wet?
