slicks..... come on someone out there
hey i'm lookin around on ebay and i see lots of good deals on used slicks. i know they might be toast a lot of 'em, but it's about 2 or 3 bills cheaper than buyin new mickeys or somethin. my real question is most of them are circle track style tires, with stiffer sidewalls. this tires are going to go on a car running low to mid 13s so really soft sidewalls aren't a must. wondering if anyone has tried any of these style tires on the strip, think they'd hook up goin low 13s? i mean no slip at all, very important since it's a bracket car more than anything else.

Hold out for a set of drag race slicks. The long burnouts required to heat up a set of oval track slicks will impress the fans but not the motor. Don't forget that slicks deterioate quicker than street tires and may be dry rotted even if they have plenty of tread left.

ebay stuff
Shipping for a set of slicks will be EXPENSIVE...
Add total price + shipping and it may be cheaper to get a new set locally...Ensure that the path of least resistance is not you...

Used slicks work just fine, but buy them locally from a race at your home track or at a swap meet where you can really look them over good. Dry rot can be a real problem.

Tell you what.... dollar for dollar it is hard to beat Hoosier street radials. They are a bit pricey but you should be able to get them within driving distance. Even getting them from Summit or Herbert is still not very expensive as far as shipping.
They will work on anything way down in to the 11 sec car depending on size. You don't have to burn the p...s out of them either. Drive up and run just as you would on the street. With 16 inch wide ones, my Willys just takes a big grunt and goes, they don't even squeel. Definetly turn a lot of sq in of pavement black LOL especially on the street.
They even last a lot of miles.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
