tire help

What would be the best tire to be using on a 16" ?
Mainly gonna be used in the streets of Mexico not really seeing the track...

Not alot of options out there besides slicks. Mickey Thompson makes a drag radial but I think its only around 28" tall really sticky though

Yeah, a sticky DR would be best if you cannot get the slick to work in the streets. Think you should spin those slicks a bit faster, around 5000 rpm in 2nd gear to get them sticky. Maybe you should go practice somewhere first. Adding VHT shoulda made them that much more sticky. Try Dr.Pepper

M&h 30" tall slicks, same ones trainman runs. But you're also going to need to take weight weight off the front, its a whole combination working together not just bolting tires on

most true drag tires aren't rated for more than 1/4 mile at a time...

i wouldn't be running any DR or slick at 100+ on the street personally

yeah i'm just saying you go out and do a mile run in mexico, it'll be dangerous with slicks on it or DR's...

that's all...

Yea maybe the DR's might get stickier. Maybe we should run our trucks and see how they compare.

It's the new thing and apparently works well from what I've heard and witnessed.

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

Just asked him that
He's supposed to get serial # and says there's no wear indicator on them? All M&H I've had had the circles in the mold on tread surface indicating tread depth. Also warming in 1st gear. :burnout:

 

[AdrianCaF91]

serial # CY1J596D6V10

Almost has no thread indicator...
