    Default Man, stiffwalls work!

    Went to Milan yest. and went a 1.30 60ft., and consistent low 1.3's.. Ran my fastest time ever with a 1.34 60ft., but only got 1 full pass.. The car did some big wheelies to the 60 or just past, but kept going left.. we finally got it figured out on the last pass of the day, but 28X10.5S WORK! Trying to get it dialed in before the lsx shootout..

    Is the S tire for FWD imports or something?

    Karl (TT cobra) bought some "import" 28x10.5 tires a couple years back that M/T was trying to clear out. They had stiff sidewalls, supposely the fwd import drag tire. They worked well for him suprisingly when other people said they wouldn't.

    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
