Which slicks for a stick car??

Philip Saran · 04-05-2013, 04:08 PM

My buddy has a 1967 Barracuda Noch with 360/4 speed/8-3/4 w/4:10's
motor has 11:50 to 1 compression Edelbrock heads, air-gap intake and
Holley 750 carb. ITT headers and exhaust, Cal-tracks with with Chyrsler
spings at this point. Car weights about 3500 with driver.

On dyno car makes 380 HP to rear tires.

On MT street drag radials car with 1/8th mile 8.0's at about 94 MPH.
tires are 275/60/15 run at 15-16 pounds.

Called MT tire rep and he says MT street radials will not work with a
stick car.

So what brand, size drag slick do the stick racers recommend??

Open to opinions and comments

M/T 3056st designed for stick cars

Definately 3056st MT. I would ask for the shortest tire in that size. The rollout can vary. Try to get something as short as possible. They can vary, but the tire vendor can check their stock for a smaller rollout set.

What's special about the M/T 3056? How's it compare to a Hoosier 30x9 bias? Is the D07 the harder compound? Why would you want the shorter/less roll out tire? That goes against the more roll out the more conatact patch rule of thought? Sorry for the thread highjack! But I've been pondering same question.
