I have the 275/60-15's and they are great on the street and for cruising around even on the highway and believe it or not i even drove them in the snow and they were great. The only thing i havent done yet is try them at the drag strip but since i saw them on cars going in the 7's at orlando last october im not worried about it.

dang, I thought I was crazy for driving on mine in the rain several times. I don't think I'd want to try them out in snow though.

To 85 TR,
what inflation did you find to work the best for 60 ft. time?

 

[DragulaGN]

I am running them at about 14 psi with a good heating.. they dont hook as well as my BFG DRs...best 60 was 1.83 as opposed to a 1.63 on BFGs

I have 275/60's on my T-Type and I ran a 10.81 on them with a 1.57 60' a few weekends ago.

That's great ...................... but what amount of air pressure were they inflated to? And how much pressure in your air bags (if you use them)?
Thanks In Advance

My car has UMI adjustable uppers and tubular lowers and air bags. I run 13 psi in the right air bag and 3 psi in the left. The 1.57 60' on DR's was with 22 psi in them. I have heard of people running anywhere from 12 psi to 32 psi in them so I just deicided to start at 22 psi and it worked so I stayed there. There may be some advantage to lower tire pressure and I want to check into that but I have not tired it yet.

i have been running mine at 20 seems to work great.

I would say they work pretty damn good.

275/60/15 on stock t-type rim.

20-24 is what most guys are running for racing

FWIW I seemed to have my best luck at 14-16 psi

McCormack racing in Lincoln Park, MI sells 275/60/15 for $135 Each. I will be ther getting some soon.

I run the 325/50/15 as my street tire (15x10 w/5" BS & frame notch).

I haven't run them at the track yet, but they hook awesome on the street. I also have about 500 miles on them with no noticeable wear. They have a pretty stiff sidewall so handling is better than I expected. At the track I'd expect to 60' in the high 1.5x range (maybe better?), but then again they are larger than most guys will run on a TR.
