Default Best tires for dirt drags

Jims sand toys is the best place to the the SLS. If you want the pro wedge its a honda tire so you need the part number. The problem isnt getting the tire, its mounting it to the wheel without tearing it (because they are light).

Amen on that. We messed up (2) 4-snows getting used to how to do it. They aren't very forgiving.

Thanks fellas,
Speaking of tearing $hit up, man these 125 wheels are brittle too! Just try and use a tire iron on one of these puppys.

I have a few more questions.
1- Am I better off with more rim and less tire, or more tire and less rim (a 10 vs an 8)
2-Do you recomend the .125 or the 160 wheel, I didnt have much luck with the last set of .125s I bought.
3- so whats the trick to mount these w/o tearin em up?

Have any of you fellas tried this, "Zipper" tire? It Appears to be the same tread pattern as the wedge, and 4 sno. Plus they come in 10" rim sizes. I have a spare set of 10" 190s in my shop. Not real sure what they weigh tho.

Thanks again

Most people draggin are running the 8" rim.It tends to let the tire swell up a bit more than the 10.I run the 8" rim also.
