Who is running M/T 29.5 x 10.5 slicks...

[racer1320]

either "W" or non "W"?

What chassis/car, weight, suspension, power, ET's and 60 foots?

Tubes or tubeless and how much air?

what size rim?

Footbrake or transbrake launch?

How many passes do you make a season?

How many passes do you put on these tires?

How long have you been using this tire?

What other tire(s) have you used?

How much do the 60's vary over the course of any 1 day and how much do they vary over the course of a full season running in the best air/best track conditions to the worst air/greasy track??

What percentage of your total runs in a given season do you turn the tire/spin?

What is your home track?

Thanks in advance.

That's kinda a tough comparison as every car works differently. I use those tires and 60' 1.46 on the footbrake but trap 134 mph on motor. It never thinks about spinning the tires and my car may vary .02 over the course of 6 - 8 passes that day. I run 10-1/2 lbs and get about 150-200 passes out of them. Yeah that's alot....you don't have to kill em' in the burnout to make em work.

i have a 84' 3gen., t/a on stock suspension, using 29.5 x 10.5 MT. 3300lbs. sbc,th350,12bolt 4.88, i run 16lbs. thats without the tire spinning, went 1.30, 60ft. on rear tires,9.96 @135.2mph. if i lower pressure below 14.5lbs. i can't control the car, it skates from side to side going down the track, all cars have a different set-up's. i tryed adding pressure 1/2lb. at a time till the car would spin on the line and my 60fts. were the best. hope this helps up.

We have been using the M/T 29.5x10.5w many years, but have recently changed to 31s.
We were running between 9.5 and 11 # in them, with tubes and screws on 10 inch wheels. In our 3350# NSS car, with a Jerico, launching at 6000/6500 and our 60ft times were ranging in the 1.36/1.37s and we normally went thru 2 sets a season. Averaging around 60 passes on them before changing. With the 31s and a bit more hp, we are changing every 40 or so passes and the car seems to be able to maintain well.

I've been using them for years of success. They flat out hook on my 3000lb 70 mach. 1.36 60 ft. with 9 lbs. of air. 408 stroker with4.30 gears. I can get a whole season out of them no problem with a minimal burnout. My friend has a 70 chevelle that can't wait to line up with you. He reads all your posts and has tried to match up with your numbers. I run at us13 and made it to the semis at the bracket finals. Where were you? I heard you were broke. Good luck.

at 3750 pounds on the footbrake with 630 ft lbs of torque at the back tires. we get 9.71 at 139mph. they just hook and go. ive had et streets before that and they sucked. 60 foots were all over. the slicks are w's. the 29.5 also kept our rpm trap speed in check. we were going through at 7300 now 6800. was running a 28 10.5w. had no problems with them either.

as far as wear-we get about 40 to 60 passes. over 50 is stretchin it. we only go above 50 passes if weve spent all of are money on beer the week before.
