snowprophet1 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I guess the american racer tires are pretty popular for the asphalt, but can someone tell me...are they just a TT tire, or are they different? I wondered if anyone has used the jr. dragster tires that are wrinkle-wall type, and if they have, what are the pros and cons? Sorry for my ignorance here on the tire subject. Somethings I know, and others I obviously don't. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuad Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I have a set of the JR2 tires... (junior Dragsters Made by Hoosier).. I really like them... havent made but about 12 passes on them... They arent really a wrinkle wal tire... Just pretty soft... I picked up my tires from a place in Dallas texas... called Smilieys... they are a Complete Circle Track Race shop... but have LOTS of drag stuff... I was luckly traveling around dallas and saw the shop back in a BIG nehiborhood in dallas... 400 miles from my house... cost me about 210 for both tires. Good luck.. HOller back if ya need more info Derrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowprophet1 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Thanks Derrick! What size are they/do you recommend for 1/8 or 1/4 mile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350duner Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 American racers and other TT type tires have stiff sidewalls so you don't want to run them as a drag tire, they won't have the wrinkle wall effect and are a harder compound than a drag slick. I'd like to get a set of Hoosier Jr Dragster tires to play with 1/8 mile drags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
