Tires for my 72
 

Guys what are you running on your trucks that are over 500hp. Need something sticky without going full drag. Thanks!!!

"Full drag" has a different meaning these days. :lol:

Hello to a fellow Mountaineer! I have been taking my rusty body panels to a media blaster in St. Albans since last year. Byrd of Pray, have you heard of that outfit?

That's what I figured I just wanted to make sure on the model.

What wheels? Tire size? How often do you drive it? Are you opposed to quick tire wear? Do you drive it in the rain?

I had a set of 26" Mickey Thompson ET street radials on my last quick street car. Only got 5-6k miles out of them and they were super sketchy in the rain. They absolutely kicked ass on the dry street though, a car that would spin through third dead hooked from a stop... I was happy but need to know your real expectations for a good answer.

American racing wheels. 275/60/15s on it now. Like to go alittle wider. I won't be driving it everyday. I have another truck I drive more often. Tire wear isn't a big deal but I'd like to get a decent amount out of a tire. No rain driving.

You could stick with the 275/60 with the M/T street radial or a similar competitive tire like the Nitto/M&H/Hoosier or if you want the max rubber on the pavement they make a 325/50, on a 10" wheel that would get you a LOT of hook for the street in a 500 +/- hp truck as long as the suspension is set up correct.
