Slick?

[landis]

I have been looking at tires and trying to decide which slick to buy. I know I have to have a stiff sidewall slick or one designed for a manual transmission. My question is has anybody tried this one or will it even fit since its so tall?

29.5 is waaaaaaay too tall for your car if your sig is accurate. Try a 26x10.5 /15 Mickey Thompson or Hoosier & you will be straight.

It would fit if u r not lowered. But too much tire for you.

That's a stock eliminator tire, an awesome tire. But yeah, you'd need to gear appropriately for it.

Yeah I was thinking it might be to tall unless I went real steep on the rear gear ratio. Looks like I will try out these. They are stiffsidewall so should be good for a stick. Thanks for all the comments and help.

I fell in love with my et streets #3752 they are probably a bit stiffer than the slicks but I drive to the track with them.

I run Hoosier QTPs 27x11.5x15. They aren't stiff sidewall but the sway at high speed doesn't bother me.
