Just passed MOT on my drag tyres

Just made me chuckle.

 

Haven't had time to change em back from Pod last Sunday and my street tyre tred is illegal now. Thought I'd give it a go.

 

He said they looked as if they had been hot at some point :D

nice pic justin, can you let me know where you got them tyres:)

 

I got mine from here mate. Ask for Ian Marshall. He's invlolved with Santa Pod also.

Mine were Mickey Thomson ET Streets for 16" wheel. You can't get em really wide but when you let em down to 15psi they squish out.

 

Delivered to your door in a day or two usually.

cheers mate, ive got some 16" rears now and im gonna order them tyres:thumbs:

 

Nice one. Make sure you burn em out for 5 seconds in the water box or they don't stick. When they're warm they're bloody grippy!

what sizes do i need from that page?

 

Right, I just looked on the side wall and it says 255/50/R16

 

I think the tyre measurements listed on the webster site is for drag racers who know what they mean. They measure total tyre height in inches I think.

 

If you phone Ian and ask for the above size you'll get it. As i say I don't think they do any wider than 255 in the ET Streets on 16" rims.

 

Expect over £150 each plus VAT.

 

Cheers

Just
