60' times vs Tires used

I would love to have a list going here of the tires everyone is using at the track....

if theres any interest in this thread ill keep this first post updated

Ill have one section with street tires and the other with DR's

If anyone wants me to add something to this list I will

Ill start it off:


Street Tires:
Vehicle........60'...........Tires.................................Size......................PSI........Torque Converter.......Halfshafts
CSRT8.........2.01.........GoodYear RSA....................245/45/20.............32................No..........................No
300SRT8......1.96.........GoodYear F1 SuperCar........255/45/20............22...............Yes.........................Yes
MAGR/T.......1.95.........Continentials.....................225/60/18.............37................No..........................No
MSRT8.........1.78..........GoodYear RSA...................245/45/20.............24................Yes.........................No
GCSRT8.......1.78..........GoodYear RSA...............F255R285/45/20....R 38 F 34...........No..........................No
CSRT8.........1.96.........GoodYear RSA....................245/40/20.............23................No..........................No
CSRT8.........1.91.........Vredestein.........................275/40/20.............23................No..........................No

Drag Radials:
Vehicle.........60' ..........Tires......................................Size..................PSI...........Torque Converter........HalfShafts
300SRT8.......1.81.........Hoosier DOT Drag Radial..........275/40/17.........18...................Yes..........................Yes
CSRT8..........1.71..........Nitto 555R .............................305/45/18.........??...................Yes.........................Yes
MAGR/T.......1.69..........Hoosier..................................275/40/17.........23...................Yes.........................Yes
MAGR/T.......1.83..........BFG DR...................................265/45/18.........25...................Yes.........................Yes
MSRT8.........1.63..........M&H Drag Radials....................275/50/17.........23...................Yes.........................Yes
CHAR/T.......1.93..........MT Drag Radials........................26x11.50...........??....................No..........................No

 

This will be a good list. I am sure that there is something to be learned by it. For example, I am not sure that I have enough rwhp to get a much better 60' than I have (just my theory) but I don't know what could be added to the list to let us learn more. TC = Yes or No might be something to add.

1.96 - Goodyear F1 Supercar - 255/45/20

1.81 - Hoosier DOT Drag Radial - 275/40/17

I now have a set of MT ET Street DRs and M&H RaceMasters, both in 17" but I won't be able to try them until spring.

 

Good Call...TC and halfs

 

bump for more entries!

 

1.71 60' on the Nitto 555R's. 305/45 18

 

What PSI....

I added that to the list

15psi. But keep in mind that when using DR's, the PSI will change dependent on weather, elevation, track prep, ect...

I have cut 1.8x 60' here in ABQ using 13 psi. Individuals will need to conduct trial and errors to see where the sweet spot is. Rule of thumb should start at 18psi and go down from there. NEVER go below 13PSI on DR's. Actually, 15PSI should be the lowest for new comers until a feel for the low air pressure is obtained. IMO

 

RT w/ 2.82 Gears

Hoosier 275 40 17's @ 23psi 1.69 best avg 1.73 Pro Torque TC (Heads and Cam Midlength Headres Added) #4250
BFG DR 265 45 18's @ 25psi 1.83 Best avg 1.87 Pro Torque TC ( Bolt ons No H/C ) #4250
Stock Conties @ 37psi 1.95 Pro Torque TC ( Super Chips, Gibsons, Zoomers, Ram Air Voliant) #4400

Really 60's will say more about the driver and trackprep than the tires ability to hook.

-R

 

MSRT8.......1.78 60' on RSA's converter,comp 268.
1.63 60' on DR's

Charger R/T w/ DR's 1.93......Stock motor and converter.

 

gcsrt8 1.78 60' goodyear RSA rear 38 front 34. 255/285

 

yeah but you gots AWD

 

I agree but its a commonly asked question so why not just have the answer hahaha

 

In case you want to update the list for mine:

Goodyear F1: 22 psi

Hoosier DR: 18 psi

 

gooooooooooot it brudda :thanks:

 

Ah....want pressures too huh......ok.....RSA's 24psi.........DR's on the SRt WERE m&h 275/50/17 and had 28psi..........the tires on the Charger were MT 26x11.50 Bias Plys and had 23psi.

 

RSA's 245/40/20 on SRT8, 23 psi rear, 33 psi front, best of 1.96 while mostly stock
Vredestein 275/40/20 on same car w/ cam/heads/TC, same psi, best of 1.91

 

:thongue2:

 

updated!

 

you messed up the update on the pressures

 

Plus I had a torque converter w/ the Vredesteins.

 

SHUT UP ITS EARLY! ill get to it in a bit hahahahahaha :ronlove:
