I'm going with a 275/40/17 with Mickey Thompson. They'll only be on at the track. I THINK BFG has a 315 size. I'm sticking with the 17" so that I could get a bit more sidewall and M/T only has 1 17" tire and nothing larger.
I haven't quite figured you out yet. Do you work for one of these aftermarket companies or an advertising company?

Nope just a racer. I used to run NMRA Renegade. Was building an outlaw car but bailed on it to have fun with a street car....

We should be asking you about tech stuff. I wasn't trying to poke at you or anything. I've just seen you around different forums usually talking about specific products like BMR fabrication and Procharger. I was just curious. According to your website, it looks like you've driven some mean cars.

Hey Michael,
Thanks for all your info on the Procharger. As for drag radials, are you staying with the stock rims??? Or just 17" period.



Sorry, I just saw my answer in your post. :bang:

Im going to be running the car in Bradenton in two weeks. I need to get a set of sticky tires on the stock rims. Haven't picked out the aftermarket rims that I want yet.

Even though they are the wrong offset, I ordered a set of 17x9 bullitts from MRT to hold me over. I will be putting the slicks on just for the track, so I'm not worried about the offset and looks of it. Running in Bradenton? I assume you have to have a race license and such?

Have you picked anything out yet? I can get a good deal on the 17" MT Streets but I want to make sure I can put them on the stock 8" rim first.
