I like my 27x10.5 QTPs. I put them on 15x8 wheels with 4" backspacing. Its close to the frame but works. I started without tubes, but every time I went to the track the left rear would start to leak after 1 pass. Since I drive them on the street on occasion, I had tubes put in. I think the Hoosier site states running tubes is your option but they reccomend it if you drive them on the street. My best 60' so far was a 1.59. I think my 60' is more limited to HP than traction.
Quick time pro 27" tires-- anyone using these?

I'll try them without tubes for a bit.
Don't plan on driving them on the street at all.
I'm hoping for 1.7 at LVD.
Woody I did think of you when buying them.

15x8" American Racing Outlaws. 3.5" backspacing I believe, but I never checked. Spacing against the frame rail is tight, but works for me and another buddy.
They are GREAT tires. I've had the same set on my car for almost 3 seasons now. There still is plenty of rubber left in them. I usually run about 15psi in them and never had any problems at the track. Obviously I don't use rim screws.

Okay, okay, my post was written before I knew the engine was coming out! The answer is now "Darn right I would, but I wouldn't give it 3 turns!".
The fit with the 27x11.5s on Weld Drag Lites (15x8, 3.5" BS) is fine. I'm not running tubes, but can't comment on the leakage since I only got to make 1 day worth of runs on these tires before the motor went south

if you want to maximize your track performance, do not use DOT type tires (QT Pro's, ET Streets)...get real slicks
they are worth from .1-.2 in 60' times on my car over the DOT's ( that's .2-.4 in the 1/4......)
i dis agree with your statement woody the qtp tire is as good as ANY slick of the same size that i have tried ........(believe me i go through tires) and somtimes better (a little) than a hard compound slick..........
