Hi ya!
My goal this summer to get out on the 1/4 mile Drag strip and learn whatever I can about staging, technique, strategy...and oh ya...having some fun doing it. So, I'm thinking about the whole tire situation and am looking for some advice... I want to do the whole thing...burnouts included.
I have nice 18s all the way around now. And I love to cruise cruise and just get in the car and go. So, I'm leaning towards getting another set of wheels and putting on some drag radials. That way I could change tires at home the night before...and still drive to the track. AND, keep my nice wheels and street tires for cruising and shows.
So, now the delimma... seems like drag radials for my car in 18s are less available than for the standard 17s. Should I stick with 18s on the back (to match the front)? Or could I throw 17s on the back and leave the 18s on the front? Seems kind of weird to me to have smaller on the back - but thought I'd throw it out there.
I currently have P255/45ZR18's on all four.
Or maybe if I'm going to change tires anyway, should I just get drag slicks for the back and change tires at the track?
Thanks in advance for your help.
