Thread: Where to buy some Slicks?

jegs or summit

ebay sometimes

summit has hoosiers that are a 225/50/16, i just picked up a set of stickey mickey 255/50/16's for $200 cash no tax. the hoosiers in summit are $181 each and i think are a better tire than the QTP

well, he's traping 132mph
Most of us will only dream of going that fast in the 1/4

Ok, and?

just cause he is trapping doesnt mean he is hooking off the line where it counts. Ive used et streets, dr streets,et slicks, nittos and bfg's DR's, out of ALL of them the DR streets hooked the absolute best. especially after a 2 hour drive to the track.

The mickeys dont take much at all to make sticky, have great sidewall flex and ridigitiy at the same time.

When the mickey DR's came out a few years back mickey put them up against the best slick in the world at the time which was the ET DRAG's. they eclipsed the ET Drags in both 60's times and spin time for heat up, those two things are the most important with drag tires besides pressures ect but thats a given.

Lets put it this way, most of us that are still in the game and have track toys, we all have mickeys on there, from a 9 second civic to dual forced induction viper, to many f bodies ect. they have proven themselves with our needs and what more can I say, from personal experience Id go with a MT.


132 would be friggin sweet but I dont think any of us are going that quick unless there is a gp shell on the tube chassis.

Thats odd.

Mickeys require very little air, maybe those guys didnt have the inflation set right?

again. Maybe if you would have read what you linked

I dont like high speed cornering at speed with these tires

In other words, they get squirmy at high speeds..

and also. I wouldnt be comparing slicks on a FWD to a RWD...

people in the F-body love the Nitto 555Rs, but no one in the W-body does. They just dont work good with FWDs. I do have some and they are better then any street tire and work good for street racing, but not if you wanna get the lowest 60'.

Even on RWD nittos get real greasy, from their radial to their DR's they get real greasy, I am not a fan.

They get squirmy at ranged speeds not high, the faster they spin the harder the energy is put into the sidewall.

I try not to even associate FWD with slicks.
