I attached the Michelin Pilot Super Sport table of the tires I found applicable to LSR, but will send it to your email too Charles.

The wheel manufacturer is Marsh Racing Wheels...  nice guys.

Guy's,
           Marsh Racing Wheels are what we have on the 974 Studebaker since we built it.  Good people to do business with.

Hooley,

What rear tires did you use when you ran at Texas ?

Charles

Charles,
             We put B.F.Goodrich drag radials on. They worked good but we were able to over power them.  I think for running on concrete I need a 4 link rear suspension instead of ladder bars. I will readjust the ladder bars for Ohio and add some weight. Maybe that will do it.
I am looking it a NASCAR tire too.
             
          All in the name of FUN.

Hooley,

If you have room to fit those wider Nascar rear slicks,, try the

Tire GoodYear brings to Talledega for the Left Front

I hear they work good.

I don't have room to use that wide a tire.

Has anyone tried BFG R1s ?

[redcatch]

Have run R-1 on a track day, a couple of times. They are a great cornering tire and turn in very nice. We were running 1/8 tow out that helped. Side walls I think are Stiff. Don't think its a good mile LSR type tire. I think the BFG drag radial would be better

[Cajun Kid]

I already have rear  M/T Drag Radials so I have ordered Set of BFG Drag Radial II's (and are having them Heat Cycled)
this way I will KNOW which works best and which fits best.

The Heat Cycle process cost $15 per tire, but since it is under a controlled process and we don't allow burn outs, it seems the best choice to properly season a race tire,,,

[redcatch]

Thats the best $30.00 you will spend.

Bob, I sure thought so myself...This way I know they have been properly heat cycled.

I ran my M/T's on the rear of the Vicky..(I did two little burnouts in my driveway before I loaded on the trialer,,, that was not enough,, Learned my lesson)

It took about 8 passes at Maxton to get the back tires right. They were green and would not scuff . On the last pass in OCT. we started getting good scuff patterns. I think my Home owners association would frown on me doing a burn out in front of the house. They all ready do.
We were running Goodyear Eagle DOT drag radials. THey should be just about right in April.

Further on down the road... we have been looking for 18" - 20" wheels to run the Michelins on... and found these unbelievable beauties.

There is also a new Goodyear Land Speed tire that is 10" wide and costs about the same or less than a drag radial.... two more options!
