New Slicks what do you guys like?

I have ran all brands over the years, not loyal to any, as I pay for them...
The true 9" radials work good on a well set up suspension - good stock eliminator type suspension. They are not as forgiving as a bias tire, but are faster. T-brake makes it that much more important to have good setup.

The normal radials do not last as long as a bias tire. Some brands also offer a light weight radial, they are fast, but do not last. Light weight because they do not have as much rubber to start with. Made for class - heads up runs. And light burnout is important with all radials. Radials also do not recover as well as bias if they start to spin.

I bought a set of the MT pro bracket radials last year. Limited passes due to hurting a motor, but they impressed me in the TX heat bracket racing before I hurt it. Read lot of reviews on line and talked to a couple of people that I know that had them before I bought a set... looking forward to putting more passes on them this year, and hope they continue to work as well, and last as long as I have been told they will.
They do have a 28x10.5 in the pro bracket radials also.
Good luck

thanks guy's

i went ahead and ordered some 28x10.5 pro bracket radials today. can't wait to try them. this car has good suspension, and like someone said above its just a amc it won't make enough power to spin them anyway.

Hope they work out good for you. Give us an update after you run them some, let us know how you like them. Did they speed you up vs. old tires, etc.

Good luck

Good decision. My nephew has been running them for 2 seasons now on his 10 second 1980 Spirit. He really likes them. Faster than bias, they last like regular slicks & don't give up their bite when wear marks are gone.

Good Luck!

What brand of tire and why. Curious.

Mickey Thompson, and because of numerous good reviews and they seem like a good balance of fast, forgiving and last longer than a normal radial. i know there probably not as fast as a regular radial and not as forgiving as a bias ply but i'll take a little more forgiving than a normal radial and a little faster than bias ply.
