What tires are you guys using for street/strip use? I have some terra grapplers currently, but am interested in something more pavment aggressive.

I just went with some at pathfinder tires from americas tire as they were a good price with the rims. I have no issues with traction at current power and speed.

I have terra grapplers now but I had 305/50/20 Toyo proxes ST II's and liked them a lot.

I am running Falken STz 04'S on my truck. I have run mid 10's with minimal traction issues. I am now starting to have some issues. probably going to have to go to slicks now

Truck looks good man, nice shot!

I am running michelin's, stock off a commonrail with the 17 inch rims.2 wheel drive has traction issues, 4 wheel drive not so bad. Haven't had a real hard launch yet though

What kind of 60 fts are you cutting 01 quadcab with those tires? I think my best was 1.67 on terra grapplers. I would like to run proxies but cant find any around 34-35 in tall.

joelc79 · 02-02-2010, 08:30 AM

i can't find anyone that sells them any bigger than a 29"

hjpcummins · 02-02-2010, 09:54 AM

paulb · 02-02-2010, 09:58 AM

1.75 is the best with current setup. Didn't realize that with the converter I went with back when my truck was "just going to have a box and small set of injectors" is a little loose. I have had no traction issues and the rear end is open no locker no nothing in it.

joelc79 · 02-02-2010, 01:17 PM

What sizes are you guys running?

01CumminsSport · 02-02-2010, 02:44 PM

im running kumho ecsta kl12 in a 285/60/18 and they have lots of grip

Btp 2332 · 02-02-2010, 02:59 PM

Wish there was more to offer around 35in.

i like the look of the 1's better too. the II's are a bit harder for lasting power... but i cut a 1.67 in an 8000lb truck..no complaints here.

mulisha · 02-03-2010, 08:06 PM

i was cutting 1.72 60ft's with stock tires and stock rims, then i went to proxes st 2 305/50/r20, and rims and it slowed my 60ft down alot, to a 1.82's. but still run around same ET with the new tnt-r tune, i was pegging my limiter with the stocker set up about 300ft before the traps, having 410's...
