PowerStrokeEnginuities · Oct 21, 2015

We are in the process in building a drag truck... my question is, what are you guys running tire/wheel size for slicks/drag radials? and help is appreciated. thanks.
truck is a single cab long bed 2011 f250 4x4.

I see a lot of people running a 305/50/20 Nitto 420. I know they're not a drag radial, but there's a lot of people running them on the strip

And this works well (we have them currently) but you do lack quite a bit in the 60' versus going to a slick.

We are getting rid of the 420s before next season.

On a 4x4 they'd stick like glue, mines a 700+ HP 2x4 with stock suspension with track bars. They hook pretty good but my suspension is way to stiff so I'm still fighting traction issues. So far I've cut a 1.81 60ft leaving at 5psi

Yes sir. Me and Dallas at H&S are currently the first to own a complete set. These are a true 2 piece welded wheel that is street safe. Not the 3 piece that were prone to cracking. If you call bogart race wheels. Ask for the owner Rich. All the setup is done. These are direct bolt on no trimming required. And they don't stick out!
