i've had dodge wheels on my truck for a while, went 12.40 110 with them and 285 cooper atr's, same night i brought a set of pyo's swapped them on and went 12.5 @110.8 but the truck was a handfull took them right back off
The factory steel wheels with 265/75/16 tires off my rig weighed in at 105 lbs each with no tread remaining
Thanks for posting this Tom, Lots of good info. If I decide to go with a new tire wheel combo Im going to try to swap them at the track to see what the outcome is.Less than what I thought

Yeah, I had always gone with the 4:1 ratio until I read that. I still believe that using less power to overcome inertia and get the wheels turning quicker off the line (plus traction, mind you) helps us go faster.

I ran my m&h this year for street testing and theyheld up great! I'll never run slicks on the street again though I blew a front tire at 150mph this year to lazy to swap
