    Front tire size for the track

    what size tire should i get to put on my wheels for the track? They'll be going on my stock 17" steel wheels. Do i want a tall tire or a short one? Thanks, guys

    One other question, does it mess with the ABS if you have different size diameter tires front to rear?

    i tried this at the 1/8 one night and got zero results...i swapped my 18X8 wheels wrapped in 285/50-18 for a factory 17" wheel setup.


    ran 7.72 with the 18's
    ran 7.72 with 17's

    yes the truck is that consistant. it will run within +- .005 every time here lately.
