good for? Do they just start dropping 60ft ?
Have problem of hooking for 3 or 4 passes then out of
The blue the car will just blow the tires off at the hit.

Thanks.

On my dakota, same stocker tire, I tend to keep them on for 125 or so runs. Now if you run them till the end, right before they get to the cords, they will be there fastest.

Dragpak when it had the auto, I think I got it up to 75-80 runs, took a set or two to learn to do a 1-2-3 done burnout.

Re the 3-4 then blow tires loose, well it did it, but it was leaking water from a hose clamp.

Good luck

Don't know how heavy your car is, but if you are on the edge with a lot of tire pressure, that could be an issue with your blowing them loose issue as well. On the truck I run 21.5 which is a soft setting for it. I have run as high as 25.5, but have spun at the pressure as well, have never spun at 21.5, unless track was wet.
