Racing on Street Tires

What kind of street tires do you like on the strip for maximum traction off the line?

I have raced on my hankook ventus tires and they have hooked great for me. Moving on to DRs though this season. :)

Which Ventus?

Re: Racing on Street Tires

HRII is this latest set of them that I have used. They have the sandy grit added to them for more traction. Some kind of compound they use in the performance tires.

I have those, they are awsome, I also used them at the track...Pretty sticky tire in my opinion

I was able to cut a 2.09 60' on Fuzion ZRi's (W speed rating) when I had a 3.23/open rear end

Not bad at all...

KD's are decent... most bfg performance tires are sticky. Otherwise just stick with DR's.

My girl cut a 1.9 60 foot in her LS1 with Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval 245/50/16 and there was definitely room for improvement.

Yeah, I was going to ask about those. I was reading a review and people seemed to like them. Also, the price is right.

Re: Racing on Street Tires

Bonemaro, KD's are BF Goodrich's softest performance tires (besides drag radials, which are DR's). :) I have KD's and KDW's on each of the Camaros. I like them a lot. I actually did 2 passes with the 96' last fall on the KDW's and they were pretty good. My favs are Mickey Thompson ET Streets though.

They're great tires...I would highly recommend them for a DD.
