if its for drag racing get some propper ones for drag

circuit slicks or semis are not too good for drag racing-to firm in the sidewall

Frankie, what size street tyres are you running??

I somewhat doubt that you can't find tyres that will fit in the stock arches, they have a couple of resonable sizes, 205/50r14 or r15, 215/60r16. None of them will fit??

Bit of an understatement, they are ******, compound too hard, sidewalls too stiff, by the time you get any decent heat into them you have finished the race and are going thru the turn around at the other end of the track.

Yeah forget about semi's, especially for racing. They need to be HOTTTT before they start working! Whats wrong with a decent set of street tyres? 1.7 60ft is pretty sweet?
