Hello fellas !...

I am looking to buy a new set of slicks but since there are a lot of diferent sizes and prices a question came, what is the best slick (size) for a TD with a 250, 300hps ?

And according to your experience which one its "too much" ?

As far as I know if you dont chose correctly the slick for you application it wont be running correctly.

Im my Spirit R/T the M&H 23x7.5x15 has performed better than the MT 24.5x 8x15. It gets into 4th gear and pulls longer due to the shorter tire size.

i would think on a K-car with little weight a 22in x 8 x 15 might been enough
