But if he has not bought the tire yet... I will tell you the best drag radial out there right now is the hoosier. I was skeptical of that but When we switched from slick to D/R on our renegade car. The car actually got faster with the hoosiers ( we tried M/T's they sucked... ) & the car drove like a cadilac all the way down the track to low 8's @ 168mph.
So i would def go hoosier if he has not bought his tires yet. && The 60's work great if its the right size tire for the cars setup. So many people always overkill their cars with tire.
Side note: M/T are not bad for slower cars.
Ok Tony,.. thats all good and well. But the question was "Can a 275/60 tire work in a fox with a 5" back space on 15x8.5 wheels?". Has anyone actually run this combo? The car in my sig had 27x10.5 ET STREETs on the same size wheels and fit fine. 275/60 should be the same as a 28x10.5. I believe it would work. But I dont want to put my friend in a position where the wheels and tire combo just wont work. Its just 1/2 inch difference,.. but sometime that can mean a world of difference.
I appreciate the info,.. dont get me wrong. But I'm trying to trade my wheels and have an agenda. Also,.. Nitto has a new drag radial thats supposed to be pretty good.
Thanks Tony,
Anyone else?
