Thumbs up Got some new drag front tires

I Finally made a decision on front tires to run at the track

Falken ZE 502's 235/60HR-16 They are a directional tire, so they should drive ok to the track with the F1's on the rear.

We will see how they work once the track opens up this spring

They are 26.5" tall

Im assuming that is on a 7 inch wheel or did you go with a 6.5?

Looks like a Draglite. I was hoping those suckers fit up front without modication

Not sure on the weight, but they are lighter than the stock front wheels

Flying ****
Yes they are 7" rims i know they will fit, since Paul, RobG, and Vinnie all ran the same ones last year.

They are discontinued but Weld may have a few of them left, they did about a month or so Weld part # 91-67458 I got them through Sumitt for $205 each

Here is Vinnie with them on his truck

I just got four new F-1s also, you don't notice how big/ wide these tires really are until you see them off your truck.
