I got rid of all my rear general purpose tires, only have paddles and pro wedges. I need to find a rear tire to use on the dyno. Lightweight is preferred as is low cost. Maybe an asphalt pattern is best in case I ever run 1/8 mile asphalt drags?

I'm running a banshee bolt pattern. If I found something used that was pre-mounted and cheap I might just go that route.

 

how do you think some of these lawn tractor tires would work on dyno?

22x11x8

20x10x10

20x10x8

25x12x9

or a flattrack tire like dunlop kt24 20x10x10 dunlop kt24 20x10x10

 

25x12x10 dunlap is the lightest tire I know of. Comes stock on p650, no good for anything else, I'll trade you them for anything as equally worthless.

 

25" is probably too tall for what I'm looking for.

does tire growth of a drag slick mess up dyno readings??

 

Scooby, I don't know if my PM went through (I am having computer troubles). The tires I have weigh 18lbs 4ozs on a 10x10 .125 Douglass. They didn't feel that heavy, but saying that sounds heavy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Also Mickey Thompson makes some true slicks for Jr. Drgasters that would hook up great for you and work nice on the strip, but they are on the expensive side. I think I found them for $100 a peice. 19.5x10x10, they would probably be the lightest most grip tire available...that I know of. I think Jegs carries them.

If not try jr.drags.


I think you are going to get tire growth on any light weight, high traction tire. I don't know how it would affect the dyno.

 

Yeah I got the PM, thanks. The Duro distributor doesn't show any dealers in my area so I'd have to use online ordering. 18lbs is a little high but it costs you a lot less $$$. Still deciding what tires to buy.
