Tire size versus ET's street radials

Ol'Forest;

That's about all the slick you'll get for a 14 inch wheel. Go to 15's and get silly wide. It's also a combo of gear ratio, tire height and your power at the line.

While I consider 12's quick for a street car and on 14 inch wheels is not a joke ethier because of wheel spin issues, Mr. Norm's 440 cars would have a real good "Charge" at the top end since a 440 will smoke the heck out of the tire from a standstill.

You can get 12's preety easy out of a 340/360.

Didn't I just bump into you? LOL

Not a whole lotta difference in the G-years and MT's huh?

Yes you did, it was good to meet you! The 4 tenths difference between the Eagles and the DR's isn't much, but on the Eagles most of my ET's were 13 ohs. The 12.55 was an anomolie!

Oh, and I agree, gear ratio and tire height do play a big role. I don't know what's available in 14" sizes, but try to get the tallest tire you can, that'll dampen the hit to the tire a bit. I do know that Hoosier makes a Quick Time DOT in 275/55-14. A 55 aspect ratio isn't too tall, but you've got a better footprint than the 235/245's.
