fl327 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 motorcycle shop will know where to get them. i dont know how much though, probably pricy, probably just as much or in the ballpark as a small set of drag radials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 That is Derek Grubb. Best to date that I know is 10.59 @ 130+ with a 1.49 60'. Do not know if those were all in the same run. Typically they are not. The tires are Phoenix and are about 6.5" wide but that is all I know. He occasionally posts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I would be hesitant to use motorcyle slicks as my guess is they wouldn't have the weight capacity for a car. When I've raced my bike, I haven't seen any bikes with slicks that look like that, and typically pro stock style drag bikes used car slicks. I don't know if that is still the case. That brown car is cool. I remember seeing it at some other sites on the 'net several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 they are motorcycle slicks. phoenix bought out firestone. they are 26 X 15 X 6W they come in different compounds and different sizes this is my third set, and i have over 800 passes on my car now. sure it gets squirley at 130, but what wouldn't best 60 foot is 1.44 currently i am not running tubes, but i should be. they leak down. thanks to the photographer, nice pic.!!!
