Tire Selection

[ksurfer2]

The Rears on my car are starting to get a little tired (Ha!!!). I am looking at options for replacement. Current tires are Mickey Thompson ET Street 315/60/15 on a 10" wide rim. They are on my 64 Dodge 330 which is predominately a NSS race car (It does see some VERY LIMITED use on the street). The car weights 3418 with me in it, has coil overs and ladder bar suspension, 512 inch motor, crossram intake with dual eddy 750's, torqueflight trans with PTC 8" converter. 4.30 gears in a Dana 60 with a spool, cam is a solid roller 660 lift 260 duration. My best time, to date, is a 10.74@123 (prior to the cam spec'd here).

Here is what I am seeing on the mickey thompson website as possible options:

ET Street Radial Pro 315/60/15
Pro Bracket Radial 29.5X10.5
ET Drag Pro Drag Radial 30X9

Availability from jegs website doesn't look promising
Also not sure if you have room but 1 looks to be taller

I believe the 315 is still illegal in NMCA N/SS. It's tread width is listed as 11.5" I tried to get them legalized last year at Indy along with billet carb bodies. I was turned down. You can run the 275/60x15. If you need the 29" height run the 9x30. Either of the 275's will hook at your et level easily Be aware that shock valving and setting for radials are not the same as bias.

I absolutely love my ProBracket Radials. Not sure if you can get them right now, but the 29.5’s actually measure 30”. A buddy recently went to the Hoosier bracket radial. They’re a lot lighter than the PBR’s, which has translated to an impressive .07 for him. But he’s also finding that they’re less consistent in the heat of summer.

If your ET streets are bias, you might wanna stay with bias.
If your ETstreets are radials(I'm guessing they are) you will be very happy with the 315 street radial pro. Be aware, tho it has a DOT, it is also marked "not for highway use". Check with your sanctioning body to make sure they're legal for your nss.
