Damn!!! Flummer is hanging around here!! hee hee Hadn't heard you in a
while!!!
I looked at the MT's but I couldn't find the size I wanted. A few folks at
the strip recommended the Hoosiers DOT slicks, these are the slicks with two
small grooves cut in them.
They recommend using tubes for the street, but I just use them for racing,
so no tubes for me.
I haven't had any problems keeping air in them. I love'm!! The size I have
is 28" X 11.5", tread width is about 10". This is the same height tire as
the factory 255/65's, so it keeps my gearing the same. They are mounted on
the factory 15"X8" rims. They cost me about $350 bucks plus 2 rims!!

<<<I agree with you Matt. I like my drag radials but I'm leaning towards
some
real slicks. My current best 60' is 1.86 but I believe it could be even
lower with some M/T slicks.>>>
