high speed rated tires for a prostreet - Lateral-g Forums

Junkie · #1 02-08-2010, 08:04 PM

Picking up my new 69 Camaro at the end of this month, id to get a set of custom wheels made in either 18/19, or 19/20 could even go with a set of 18/18 if its my only option. The issue is i need a tire that can go on a 15 or 16" wide rear wheel that wont look terrible and is speed rated for over 200mph. Ive noticed most "street" tires only go to 345, the Veyron has a set of 365's but i need something even wider then that. Tire choices will really be the deciding factor on what size wheels i go with. Trying to run 210-220mph in the car.

There is your width, I have them on my 20x15s. But only rated at 130.

exactly, ive seen those on MT's website but i need something that is safe at 200+

Also are there any Aero mods to create some down force up front?

There is no tire the size you are looking for that has the Z speed rating.

a drag slick.. why does it need to be z or y rated

You're only going to find a drag specific tire in that width, no road car uses a tire that wide.

are you sure you will hit 220 in the standing mile with an f2 blower? you will propably need the first 1000 horses just maintaining that speed... and the time you have to accelerate not an awefull lot when you are running that high a speed.. remember to accelerate to twice the speed on the same distance, you need eight times the horsepower (to the ground) NOT counting drag....

Drag has a lot to do with it (almost everything), but an F2 blower is more then capable of pushing a car past 220mph in one mile. They are good for 1600 plus horsepower... Since I have one, I have to stick up for them.
