Will a 26" DR play nice with a ZLE?

Hello All


I have a rear drag set up from my 13 ZL1. Before I sold the car I had picked up a set of Hoosier P315/30R18. Its a 26" tall tire.

https://www.jegs.com/i/Hoosier/522/17342/10002/-1


Long story short, the 13 car even with fuses pulled didn't like the smaller tire. The 2013 car had a 28" tire tho.




The ZLE's Stock rears are 26.8" tall. Has anyone here run a 26" tall on a ZLE here???

None that I know of, but there's a million SS's running a 26" slick without issue.

I think it would be tough to hook it.

Car ran strong and the computer didn’t know any change...

The Hoosier were horrible. Couldn’t hook to save my life. Was a fun day but hard to race when you can’t hook.

Best pass was 12.24@117mph. That was with no launch control and still spinning. With Launch control and PTM Race best was 12.79@116.


This is a M6 car too.

What was your 60’?

I say put psi at 18-20, a good 5 second burnout to warm and clean them up and work on your shifts. Driver mod seems to be what’s needed.

Best 60’ was 2.09.

In all not super disappointed. The DA was 6820 feet. I’m going to find a better tire and give it a go again next season. Seriously feel like I can get it around 12.teen’s or 11.99 on a glory pass if the DA is good. In the summer we can see 9800 to 10k DA.
