tire bigger than 12"

<< < (3/3)

Hey nothing against 12" tire they work. Did not mean to imply I needed more tire than other run. Heck I hate idea of extra tire weight. More than offsets money I spent on having axles and gears cut to reduce weight.The deal I got on wheels is reason I have 14's. 2" differance seems too much to run.

Chris If you look at the Hoosier tires they make a light weight 14x32 tire in the co7 compound . It is not a real soft tire and might work for you . My son runs a different size co7 tire on his RED and it has worked very well for him .

Well got out this weekend. Weather was 48 to 53 degrees. Like I thought to much gear and to short tire. I don't think width made any difference . 60' were 1.10 to 1.13. I was out of rpm by 1000 ft. Cor ran 7.90 as soft as I could make it. Also 31" x 14 x 15 tire made the car very low.

    Bill are you going to Lebanon this Sunday ? I plan on going with my son to get some runs on his car .

tinbanger:
Bill I will not be this Sunday. Need to send the MSD out. Car would just turn off. Also going to put a set for 14/32 on for more height and less gear. My change for 4.33 to 4.11 gears . I was against the chip about 1000'. There are some good pics on Lebanon's photo's for this past Sunday, Have fun this week.
