Used them this year for the first time on the 16" GTA wheels. No rubbing, best tire I have ever used at the track, fantastic hooking caompared to my old BFG's

Thanks for the feedback

Anyway you could post a pic of what they look like on the car. I'd love to see them in the wheel well.

Those look like some nice tires. Wonder if they would fit ok on my RX-7. Does anyone have them mounted on an 8" rim? Hows the fit?

I had just made up my mine to get some nittos for the street until I saw this post...Are they bad if caught in the rain ? How much are they ?

jdodman · 12-02-2006, 03:43 PM

I ran them this whole season and love em'. If you have 16" wheels it is really the only choice since I wanted a taller tire and MT only makes 26"...
Had my best 1/4 mile and 60 foot this year. I will get them again.

PS - They make some great T-Shirts as well....

Mike - I am using the GTA wheels and I am 90% sure they are 8 "....

Getchasum · 12-02-2006, 05:43 PM

Post some pics of them on the car......please

jdpolzin1 · 12-02-2006, 05:52 PM

I'd like to see a pic too!

jdodman · 12-02-2006, 06:01 PM

Not the best shots but they are from Atco.

chrisgarrett46 · 12-02-2006, 06:03 PM

Are those streetable or strictly for the strip?

jdodman · 12-02-2006, 06:34 PM

Very street'able, although I have not been caught in the rain yet. They are drag radials...27"tall.

The last two times out (Cecil & Atco) I drove 120 & 110 miles round trip, as I did not want to bother with my trailer. Car rides real well with them. Unless you forget to fill them back up for the ride home, like I did the last time out.

Then she was a little squirrely...

chrisgarrett46 · 12-02-2006, 06:51 PM

Now I'm wondering how they compare to MT et streets.

They have them listed on their site at 28" tall

Thanks again for the pics

jdodman · 12-03-2006, 05:55 AM

Ah yes..I stand corrected. They are 28" tall, which helped me this year, improve my mph at the finish line...

Personally, I prefer them over the MT's mostly because I could get a taller profile tire, but also because I did improve my 60'..That said, I have seen some impressive 60' on the MT's, just could not get me to produce the same results.

User error I am sure.
