Woodfin's new Vega rear tires

Dragsinger · 02-22-2014, 10:12 AM

I will be buying rear wheels and tires soon. The Vega has plenty of room to accommodate any practical wheel & tire. I estimate about 2500 pounds race weight and about 5.80 1/8 mile ET. Electronics class, trans brake leave, 6000 + converter, 1.80 low, 5.13 rear, 408 SBC, methanol.

Do you have a tire suggestion?

Biggest Hoosier that will fit....but if running on a .400 (.370) Pro Tree then you need a stiff sidewall if you can't go red.
