Thinking of throwing a set of stickies on the duster to see what it will do. Would prefer a 27" tall tire around 8" wide. Also would prefer a 14" rim, but i can use a 15". I saw a couple of M&H muscle car d.o.t.'s in 15" i think would work, but i was hoping to find 14" so i could use the stock wheels.

Are the musclecar d.o.t.'s any good? I can only stall the car to around 1500 with the converter in it, but even with 200+lbs in the trunk for ballast the car won't even think to hook with the polyglass. I want something that will hook, period. If i can get that in a dot, even better.

Hoosier has a wide variety of applications that you can do some research on. I only run their drag slicks but have seen positive discussions about their other tires as well.

Just curious what you 60 ft now as I dont know if you will pick up alot. 10.70's at 125 is not to bad but I guess you could get down to 10.50's at that mph as I am sure your car has great weight transfer. My self I like the Hoosier radial 30 x 9 slicks I use. Ron

Best 60' is a 1.540 with the polyglass leaving just off idle (around 1000rpm). I dont know how much more it has in it, but i dont see why it wouldnt go in the mid-low 1.4's. I dont want too tall of a tire as the gearing is near perfect now. Alittle taller than the g70-14's would be perfect.
