Tyre Selection For Drags

[tricstar]

My R33 GTR is setup for circuit/street with coil overs etc, but I do like to do a few runs down the strip.

So I have Advan A048 medium/hard's or Michelin Pilot cup something something--good street tyres

which would be best for the strip and what warm-up process should I be doing ??

Car has around 650rwhp

I would go the street tyres, the advans wont get enpugh heat in them.

Warm up process, rwd mode if you can and rip a 2nd gear skid, just enough to see smoke come off the tyres and thats it.

with 650hp at the tyres, if it grips expect to get booted as an easy ten is there.

yeah I thought the street tyres would be better.

Its a 33, so no RWD action, I'll just launch it hard in the burn out area and spin them up for a couple of seconds, should get a bit of heat into them

MP Cup

or

MP Cup Sports?

The Sports are almost a semi comp as it is with a treadwear of like 80 or something. A 048 off the top of my head is like 60. So 2/10ths of fk all difference

Won't matter much either way. I'd just run whatever is on the car. It'll be the least of your worries

Oops my mistake they are Michelin Pilot Sport 2 , not Cup treadwear 220 ?

does that make a difference ?

and A048 M/H are treadwear 60
