Drag Tire Setup Question
 
Hey all I have a quick question regarding a good drag tire setup for my 12 Roush. I ordered and finally got some 15x10 rear and 17x7 dark star wheels. What is a good tire to run and size for track. I have the stock 3.73 setup. Just curious what some of you guys are running as race season is approaching. I can't wait to see what she does on the track.


Thanks,


Dave

Is it a manual or auto? With the 3.73s you would want a tire close to 28" tall and I would run a drag radial. My plan is to go with the mickeys et's.
Also you know you have to install the swaybar relocation brackets when you run 15x10s.

Yes I have the sway bar relocation brackets and it is a manual. I'm new to the drag racing world thank you for your help. I did not know about the 28's. Everyone I talk to is saying 26 or 28.

26" for us auto guys with 3.15s but manuals with 3.73s are better off with a 28".
