I used them at the drags once just for sh*ts and giggles with only 500rwhp and managed a 1.6 60ft. a mate has run the 235's in the 17s and they were poo for the track compared to ET streets. They might be ok with the HP you are making, but being a semi they do wear fast. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88855-achilles-123-semi-slick-235-45-17/#findComment-1494956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
