Message	a tire for the Street Car Challenge, assuming I get in of course. Here's the deal, you are not allowed to make any tire changes. The tires you drive up with are the ones you have to use for the whole event, and of course they have to be DOT street legal. I thought about using drag radials on the rear, and something else for the fronts, but Im sure this setup would suck on the road course. With SO many new tires coming to market, and the fact that I don't know shit about them, I need some help here. What would be the best thing you can think of for both the strip AND the road course...Thanks. Fred 95 300TT SGP Stage..Who knows..lol Dynoed 539.4 RWHP, 481.2 Lbs. Torque Pump Gas @ 17 Lbs. of Boost NO NOS!!
