....I'm headed to the drag races in August & am considering putting on slicks at the track. I've looked up different drag tires {Hoosier, MT, M & H, etc} & they use different rubber compounds depending on whether you want soft or firm sidewalls. What would be best for a '32 Ford {weights 2450} that has 460 HP & 499 TQ, a built Turbo 400 trans {w/ a trans brake}, 4:11 true track rear & a HD drive shaft. Please keep in mind that I will add HP later so I'd like to have these tires be 'over-kill' if anything. I was thinking on using a set of 12" x 15" wheels & a set of 12" slicks but I don't know anything about the 'compounds'..... THANKS, Bill
