A8 or M6? I run the Hoosier 28x10-17 on Race Star wheels. I would consider the slick if you can trailer your car. If not look into the M/T drag radials instead. I've been 10.78@129 in 94 degree heat. PM me if you need any help.

10.78 is that with the meth and VP 109? Thats fast! mine is an A8.
i'm in AZ so i have to wait for it to cool off then i will play at the track some.
i have michelin pss2 295-35-20 on the rear and it will spin some on the street.
i wanted to get 1 tire that would work for both without running a drag radial all the time. looks like i should get a set of rims and MT if there is no other way.

It went 10.82@129.88 in 70 degree weather in the spring. I went 10.78 with meth in 94 degree heat and 109. So, on Meth and 109 in some cool weather I think I can run 10.60s as it sits at over 130. Its gonna be tough to get a tire that will do both.

my next move is meth and a tune for 109 do you have a toggle switch to go from pump gas tune to 109 tune ? i will try and find some 18 inch wheels to put drag radials on.
Thanks for your help!!

I can actually run either all the time with the Meth Injection. You need to have hp tuners so you can change when you go drag racing.
