Avaialble DOT Drag Tyres

gtpornstar · 18th December 2006, 09:03 AM

Anyone been looking into some sticky tyres for drag like the ET Streets or DOT street Hoosiers ?
Just wondering what options there are for around the 22-24" height.
Nothing much other than BF Goodridge from what I can see.
Is there nothing else other than regular semi slicks ?

What specs ?
pics ?

The DOT legal hoosiers are about 24" tall. they are 225/50/15's i believe.

fro what ive heard they hook up pretty damn good and there were and still are a few people running them

most of the DOT legal slicks will come with the profile raiting mentioned above as they are still classed as street tires. when u go to full slicks they will have the 26/8x15

Horny_Devil · 19th December 2006, 03:52 PM

suggesting them i wouldnt mind a set myself but theyre a lil big for me

gtpornstar · 19th December 2006, 08:03 PM

thanks guys.
What do you all think of the g-Force BF Goodridges ?
Also I assume a 7" rim would be fine for a 225 tyre right.

there is alot of guys on Honda-tech.com using those and they all seem to say they hook up pretty well.
Also the 225 will fit a 6.5" rim, better on a 7" or wider tho.
What price have you got one those bfg's?

gtpornstar · 20th December 2006, 08:33 AM

hmm hard to make a choise between the two but might go with hoosiers just cause i know people who have used them.
Price we got was 338+ each Got a better price ?

Horny_Devil · 20th December 2006, 08:43 AM

ring cardwells and see what there price is

is that including shipping?

Non Vtec · 20th December 2006, 09:03 AM

search on the net and get some direct from the USA. I paid under $280 each shipped for my slicks and semis are slightly cheaper again..
Plus you might be able to get a deal with some rims aswell..

gtpornstar · 20th December 2006, 09:12 AM

True, was this for hoosiers ?
Just wondering where you got them from, if you dont mind me asking ?

Non Vtec · 20th December 2006, 09:15 AM

mine were m&h tires.. I remember it was around $1000 shipped for a set of 4..

BTLF3D · 20th December 2006, 09:18 AM

Non Vtec yours are full slicks arnt they? i think gtpornstar needs DOT approved slicks, which i think m & h make the 13" ones? i have priced some m & h 235/60/15 DOT slicks if you want me to pm you the price gtpornstar.

Non Vtec · 20th December 2006, 09:21 AM

mine are full slicks but they do a range of semi slicks. I beleive therre was a couple of guys running them.. like a 205-60-13 for street..

gtpornstar · 20th December 2006, 09:22 AM

hey mate
60 would be a bit tall for me, whats the total rolling radius work out to ?

BTLF3D · 20th December 2006, 09:24 AM

contact John @ M&H tyres, he will sort you out with some good tyres, tell him your setup/power etc.

Non Vtec · 20th December 2006, 11:17 AM

a 205-60-13 would work to be around a 23" height..
how much power are you making??
