  • track question

    Ok need your opinions. I just got some 17" SS rims, with hankook k104's. 275/40/17's. They are great in the wet/dry as far as im concerned and hook way better than my old 245/50/16 kumhos.

    I'm going to sunshine speedway tomorrow to race my friends 5 speed 97 maxima that we keep one upping each other, and thus far its all been street races.

    Question is, should I put my 16's back on, and get my 255/50/16 drag radials from the attic and put them on the back two? They are getting quite bald now. On the street, the 275's seem to hook almost as good as my BFG drag radials did.

    Thoughts? Worth the time to put the DR's on?

        Gotcha, what I usually do...except I've run them on like 25psi.

        I'm going to get them out of the attic now. :D

          yes i dead hook on smaller tires at 23-25 psi, 19 is too low for a n/a v6.

            PS is he a v6 97 maxima? Watch out if he does a y-pipe and some other minor intake and exhasut stuff you will get killed.
