Lightest front runner?

[AlleyCat]

Mickey Thompson e mailed me after I addressed my concerns. They stated specifically not to use the lighter tire they have. It is not rated for our heavy car. They said the sportsman is and has been tested up to 200 mph. They state the 138, not 130 as published , Is fine in the quarter. Just not long races over 138 mph.

17s don't fit with stock brakes do they?

17s fit on the front of Demons and 1320s. You just need to make sure you put the balance weights where they won't hit the caliper. I have a set of 17" custom Welds and tires for sale on this site. They are about 56 lbs (total) lighter than the carbon fiber Demon 170 setup.

Speed rating is for a long period at that speed. Like they said drag racing is fine because of the short time. Just like the 170 limited to 150 mph. They don't want people using drag tires for high speed for a long period of time
