wesw Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 was wondering what would be some good tires to run on asphalt drags. thinking of going to wichita to international raceway some day to just see what fun i can have. thought about some flat track tires that were used some. think they would work ok???

bkabina Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 Yeah they work but you may want to try finding two tires with the same compound.You could also watch e-bay and try to get some jr dragster slicks.They would be your best bet. Quote
NYUK Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 slicks only work if it s really hot out. american racer or hoosier, 20x10. Quote
wesw Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Posted August 13, 2005 how much do they cost and wheres a good spot to get some at. probably like to find some used ones Quote

Toybreaker Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 Fleabay for used definitely. Jegs for new Jr dragster slicks. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/Pro...786&prmenbr=361 http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?...t=egnsearch.asp but if you are not going to run the strip alot just air your dirt tires down around 2-6 psi depending on track condition and temperature.

wesw Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Posted August 13, 2005 noticed most were 18 or 19 inch tall, its that what you guys run and what rim size? 10in looks to be the common size?? Quote
speedfreak350 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 im also interested this. We are fixin to start running our bikes at the local strip, and im just gonna run my stock wore down tires and wheels off my raptor untill i can figure out what i need as far as slicks go. Quote
bajabomb Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 i've tried both, the american racing and junior dragster. they both hook up well, hot or cold day. the jr. dragster tire is about 2 lbs. lighter.so i would definately reccommend M/T. a good place to get them is Motivational Tubing,because they will sell you a matched set. which makes a big difference at the big end of the track because of the swell. http://www.motivationaltubing.com/ Quote
