: Okay...hoping to start doing a little Friday night racing with my Mav. I have some 235-14s as spare street tires. I was wondering what size slicks I should consider. I don't even know if I need slicks or not. It runs great on street tires. I've just never been down the drag strip yet.
: Depends on many things, engine size, camshaft, transmission, rear end gearing etc. For a start I would recomend 26in X 9in X 15 for a real mild engine combo. For higher horsepower and gearing you will need taller and wider ones I.E. 28 X 10.5 X 15. Most tracks have a tire size rule etc. for different classes they run. Check this out first and also see what similar cars there are running.
