As the title says, these are nearly new tires. LOTS of tread. They just dont work with my 3.73 gear ratio. I need to move to a 26-inch tall tire as these are 28-inches tall. I've run them at one event, which was this morning at Milan, and I only put a few runs on them before calling it quits. I couldn't even use fourth gear, and I was running through the traps in third at 6600 RPM. Definitely NOT the sweet spot for this combo!

I'll dismount them from my wheels as soon as they sell.

 

You knew those would be a problem on motor with 3.73's but with an extra 150hp they should work really well. You were running lines and mounting bottles last time I seen you, when's it going to be sprayed?

Or just shift to 5th with short tires on the hose..hehe

 

Yeah, I knew it would be a little problem but didn't realize it'd be that big of a deal! I mean, I was faster on my slippery ZR17's!

As for the nitrous, It's one of those fall projects, before the M12 event I think. I needed to know that the car is hitting well on the suspension before I plug it in. The torque arm seems to be doing great so I'm not so worried anymore.

 

I'll take them Dan. Let me know when you get them off the rims.

 

A fall project eh?

Denny, how long did it take for us to install you first nitrous system? lol

 

dan dont forget it was 90 fricken degree's. Id say the tires maybe lost you .2-.4, not the whole difference. those tires need 4.10 gears atleast N/A. 26" , 3:73, and nitrous should be fine though unless your spraying 200 shot or something.

 

Thanks everyone,
I've gotten them separated now Al. You need to look at them though as Discount Tire took a small chunk out of one of them, on the side of the bead area.

 

that wont hurt anything IF they hold air. seen that happen at work. betcha they didnt put lube on the beads when they were installing the tire.

 

These are now in my garage. Thanks Dan.

 

Yes, all the best. The Quicktimes are now on the rims. Discount Tire heard my complaint about taking the chunk out of that tire and they apologized and mounted the QT's non-gratis as a result.
