ARE THEY , THE MT Street drag radials much wider than our 275/60r15? I hope you get better hook out of yours than we are getting from ours, looking good. drinks

they are about equal to a 325x60x15, we will have to see about the traction issue later 4 speed
I still need to trim the lips a little to have better tire clearance, the replacement quarters have a lip that is about 2 inches wide and bearly clears the tires. I can i think it has 1/4 " clearances now but will be plenty after some triming Grin

now I have to see what the wife is gonna say after she see;s them. she knows about the rims but hasnt seen them  madwife

Yes, please do tell.   Is it mini tubbed and the springs moved inward? 

Them's some BIG tires tucked in there.   Looks real good.   Oh, and always be honest with the wife.   That's the best policy for a lasting marriage...

i took the car to a curise ih today, didnt get all over the ar at all to see how they acted. they are a soft tire so should be pretty sticky.I had to borrow a carb froma friend to get the car on hte road again. the new demon I have isnt doing well but the borrowed demon likes the 400. hopefully this weekend I will take her out and smoke some tires Grin
the front tires and wheels are still on the way I had some here but discided to send them back for a different size

Not yet, but I am planning a trip to the drags on the 6th of June. I'll keep you posted. The funny thing is it doesn't feel as fast as it did last year, but that's only because it's no so out of control. Now with all the mods over winter it just crouches and goes... straight. Still lacking my home made Caltrac bars, and I can feel the wrap up a bit.

Jamesdart, I'm pretty sure the S/Rs are thre same compund as drag radials but with a more weather friendly tread
