Yep lots of wheelhop. Maybe Ill use the wheels of my wifes explorer I wish I had 205 14s. Im scared to run the 14s since they are 175slil_man_maas wrote:Your 17's will probably have alot of wheel hop and the 14's will nearly eliminate that but the 17's have wider tires on them which equals more traction but more wheel hop which equals less traction so if it were me I would go with the 14's.

They came with the car, Falken Ziex's. I only got two left, the left two blew out when I hit a huge pothole one day, so I got some el cheapo Goodyear's put on cuz I didn't get much of a choice. The Ziex's are on front, one is backwards (directional tires) cuz I didn't wanna pay $30 for them to flip it over. That's how I ran last time, don't know what my tire pressure was, haven't bothered to check it all year. Just roll in off the street and run 14's all day long.

I dunno, they came with the car. So to me they were free. I wanted some 205's when mine blew out but Goodyear didn't have shit for 14" tires.99dohcneon wrote:How much did the 205s cost?chipdogg wrote:They came with the car, Falken Ziex's.

^ Stock for now. I havent had a chance to use the slicks yet so I havent been concerned about snapping one yet.

My best times came using 195/60-14 cheap worn down Hercules brand tires. They where also on my 14" ASA aluninum wheels. Thety weigh about 12lbs. Ran 15.7-15.8 all day long on a pretty much stock SOHC. With better tires maybe I coulda hit 15.4-15.5.

205/50/14 BFG Drag Radials are a 22" tire. They fit perfectly on a 6" rim, (R/T) mag). I just picked up a set (2) at Costco, $271 , mounted, balanced and tax, out the door (no nitrogen).
22" M & H slicks need an 8" rim, you can get them at Diamond Racing in MI for about $90 each before shipping.
The slicks are around $150 IIRC. You need tubes for the slicks also, about $35 each IIRC. All told close to $600 for slicks and rims.
