Hi everyone,

Ive been reading several threads and keep coming across the same problem for alot of different people being wheelspin. Not sure if guys that are new to drag racing are aware of the street radial and the advantages of using them. Im going to do a little experiment next wednesday night with Mona's car.

Compare this weeks sixty foot times on a street tyre to next week on Mickey Thompson Street Radials.

Ill post results on wednesday night. All going well we should be able to organise a group buy for those who are interested. If we oreder 5 or more sets, shold be abel to save $40 a tyre. Usually retail for $290 each.

Ok guys, got some pricing.

235/60/15 $235.00ea

255/50/16 $250.00ea

275/40/17 $275.00ea

This is depending on the amount we buy, im buying one set of each for the shop so we need at least 7 more buyers. these are as cheap as youll find, these tyres retail usually for $270, $290 & $317ea.

Am going to WSID weather permitting on wednesday night so Mona can try a set for a comparison. Will post results, after that ill be ready to order. Can PM me if interested, and will arrange electronic payment.

i can bring tyres to WSID the following week or pick them up from shop.

$250 each for 255/50/16, can only get them this cheap if we get 5 or more buyers.

I am up for a pair of 275/40/17's

If we get enough buyers, ill see what we can get a set for, may not be as cheap as the smaller tyres, but still should be discounted.

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
