fellas with sticky tires

[shaferz]

I'm too lazy to search clubgp. It takes too much work to do that.

My QTP's need replaced. Should I go with another set of them? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that there are some M/T's are are better tires?

Need da info.

kthx.

[shaferz]

16's. I think they are just the non-polished 5-stars

whatever he runs

heard great things about the TOYO proxi? or something their DR

 

[shaferz]

No. Not looking for street tires or drag radials.

Specifically looking for slicks.

Fish ran QTP's... which I bought. Which since they sat in my garage all winter without air but still mounted on wheels, have dryrotted and now leak from the sidewalls. Need to replace them asap.

I WANNA GO FAST!

edit: If Toyo does slicks, they are probably more than I can afford, pal.

If QTPS worked for you before, why change?

 

[shaferz]

Because they didnt work for me before. I never even got to run one time on the ones that I bought used.

I've run on a borrowed set one time, and still couldnt mash it straight off of the line. If I can get better tires for not much more cash, why not? Would be really nice to be able to mash it off the line and not have to wait till 2nd gear for the juice.

also interested in this though, i think i might have a little bit of trouble getting traction

I had better luck with drag radial than QTPs. Why not just get a set of the light 15" Montana wheels and a set of full blown M/T slicks?

 

[Ron Vogel]

I vote for qtps, the m/t's are overkill. Qtp's are lighter and will fit the rim better. I cut a 1.71 on them, and could have done better had I the chance (blew the axle on the following pass)

 

[PANDA]

I cut a 1.81 with the MT DR's. No burnout.

That's the problem, lower 60's mean broken shit.

I vote QTP's as well though

 

[TommyGloves]

I like the QTPs as well but do not have any experiencee with the MTs. I was able to hit 1.8s without a waterbox burnout in the Bonneville. (That car is a bitch to launch.)

Phatride does pretty amazing on his ET Drags. We have a set of ET Street slicks that I am really wanting to try out... need some more lug nuts.

Panda has the M/T Drs and they definitely hook better than the Nittos I have on daily.

 

[PANDA]

Double D Racing does not do burnouts. (no use with stock ass shit)

my best 60's have came with QTP's. i cut several 1.700's but never could get in the 1.6's.

my et drags will net me sub 1.6 i just have to man up and boost more.


my vote is for the QTP's if you only plan to use them at the track. i have et drag radials for everyday driving, and they are decent on the street, and i know they would be plenty for the track as well.


the key to hooking ANY car is the burnout. i really hate it when i see guys start and stop the burnout in the water. im going to make a thread to ease my mind lol

 

[my97gtp]

your not putting tubes in them?

 

[Fish]

SUVs go fast.

 

[shaferz]

your not putting tubes in them?

Probably not. I dont need them coming apart at 110+mph on me.

Plus I may have a hookup where I get a new set free or nearly free.


Thanks for all the input everybody.
