I put my 285 Goodyear F1's Supercar tires on the SRT6 tonight, then did a trophy run up the freeway on ramp. They are a major improvement over the Conti 255's. These things really dig in.

 

Have them on the SSB SRT and am real happy with them .....over a year and still good with the traction and wear .....of course they perform better when warmed up.

 

I'm glad to hear that they last over a year lol.

 

Just put some on 265/40/19 hope they last. Miss the look of the 305/30/19 but still have them for racing.

 

When this set is done I'm going with wider tires in the back. Might also have to take some time and learn to launch too

 

I put a pair of Goodyear F1's on for my second set 285/35R19. They where the worst tires I have had, traction was terrible and the back felt loose all the time. In my N/A 6spd at 60 mph I could shift down to pass and bark to tires. Take offs sucked. The 275 G-MAX'S I have not are night and day difference

 

I do know the temp for the tire is real important and when up at Bandimere this last fall they were excellent and I was running upper 12's so for street tires the grip was good for 1/4 mile runs. Around town if the temp is above 70deg they perform well. I have had Invos and p6's that were not as good at upper temps but if cold they are just average for traction. The conti's had much less grip but better cold handling and the Michelin super sports were similar to the F 1's but cost more.

 

My fellow xfire CCC members think I am hard on tires so you could take my experiences with a grain of salt.

 

what do people run on stock rims for the 1/4 mile or would it be far better to but 2 new rims and tryres just for the 1/4 mile?

1st upgrade to getting a 1/4 mile run

 

Here's what I have : Drag Radial Package

 

Hi

so you run 16" rears in place of the 19" ? with 18" on the fronts?

sorry if thats a silly question?

great price can you sent me a set for $5

 

Yes....Yes.....No.....and No. Plus you already have a perfect set (according to your avatar)

 

Now I am confused as I was originally asking what are the best tyres rims for an upgrade to getting a faster 1/4 mile time.

I thought you was saying the smaller rear rims will be better

 

Yes 16" drag wheels and tires are best. More sidewall to give better flex and grip but overall height of wheel and drag radial are close to the OEM 19".

 

oh I see smaller wheels and bigger tyres to get near the same OEM 19"
