Stocker front tires

RJ · 02-21-2009, 03:08 PM

I am building a 3600 lb. stocker, and If my only concern is getting the quickest ET possible, which front tire should I use and at what pressure?

I'll make room for any tire and buy offset wheels if I need to.

Thanks

The tallest tire you can fit will give you the most rollout and a longer "run" at the beams. Pressure wise, depends but I used to run 30psi. in my 28 tall M/T's. Hope this helps. Jay

It wont make much difference at all. Choose the right tire for you to get a light and run it!

I've always run a tall tire at about 30lbs but I stage shallow, if you stage deep or roll into the lights you should try a shorter tire. Varying the tire pressure can effect your reaction times.
