F-body guys. Opinions on tires...

My 26" drag radials are pretty much shot. Im going to try to hold them out for a night at lebanon but that will finish them off. I have f1 supercar tires in my attic that are almost new. They are 295/35/18’s. I was going to put them on after these radials were whooped, but I like hooking.

I was going to change my rear end gears because I dont like them, but I dont know how long it will be until I can get around to that…

so I was looking at replacing my 26"s with 28" tires. My only question is, sense I am lowered, will I have problems? the 26’s are cutting it close right now and I am not sure if the bigger tire will be pushing it to much.

I was looking at these tires…

i couldnt get a 28 under my car without cutting the bumstop and mnts off the car . that and ya have a.b.s and t/c id stay in the same size ya have been running seein as ya dont have any problems now with the system

Pretty sure those MT’s I sold you were 305’s…?

yeah , the tires he posted will hit the fender andddd the bumpstop and shit

I cut my bump stops completely out of my car as well and had to beat the living piss out of the inner wheel well with a sludge hammer to get the clearance I have now because this rear end was a little narrower then the 10 bolt.

they are but they are 35 series. They are 26"s

I know, your OP said they are 295’s. I’d just replace them with the same tire, I put a lot of time on those tires before you got them, and you’ve gotten quite a bit from them too.

I have 295 eagle f1 supercars in my attic. Thats what I was talking about.

I have around 1k on them, and they are almost done. I dont even know if they will last the drive down to the track to even run.

if your at the wear bars , there life is very shortttttttt

lol you can hardly tell there is any wear bars at this point.

Not bad for getting them for 37.50 each! Find someone with a set of 28’s to try before you buy them, since you technically can’t return them after mounting.

We run DR’s to the cord, n1kKa

The f1 super cars blow. Stock srt’s come with them and they dont hook for dick.

agreed

I had them on my Z06 as well they suck…

The new ones that come on the 2011 gt500 are a new design f1 super car and they seem to worl decently.

Just put on the F1’s and temporarily go back to your roots of 60 rolls:lol

Good idea.

no lol

ok so apparently the tires I have right now are 27’s…
