Looking for tire recommendations for the burnout contest at the Nats. Need to fit on my E body with 15" x 7" rims. I'll take any recommendations or freebies if anyone wants to see my AAR win the competition.

I would recommend bald ones. They are cheaper.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Old and nearly bald bias ply tires probably work the best. Are you OK with winning a burnout contest but ripping a rear quarter on your E body apart doing it? It seems to me the guys that win are the guys that also have the tire come apart. Gene

The wife has done the burnout contest at the Mopar Nats a couple times.

She mainly doesn't just so she can do a burnout and not get in trouble.

As others have stated, the guy who blows a tire and wipes out a quarter panel has the best odds of winning.

Some guys take it all waaay too serious, they'll do anything to win it.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
