slicks?

(1/4) > >>

crider:
I see a lot of talk on here about the 2585 goodyear slicks, But I notice most of the talk is on jr. fuel cars and such that are making a good bit more hp than I am. I'm looking to purchase some new slicks for my build and I was wondering if they would be good for a bracket FED or if there is something else that will work well for me. My car is a 178" david beard chassis with a 526 BBC and a glide. 5,000 rpm converter with 4.20 gear. Going to be doing mostly 1/8 mile runs. Thanks for any input from those of you have some seat time in one these cars

George:
This Hoosier has worked well for our FED: Part number 18225 31.0/12.0-15* . I think it is about #30.

hemidakota:
Just got a set of the 18225 and they weigh just under 27lbs each if that helps at all.

Pipe Dreams:
Ditto the Hoosiers.

JrFuel Hayden:
I'm at the NHRA race in Vegas and talked to a Comp racer running 12" wide slicks and he said he stopped running the Hoosiers because they were  to narrow, for him, running range, ie between 65° and 100° track temp work OK, but blew the tires off over 100°, and under 65°.
He now runs Goodyears or 33x 10.5x15  M/T
