SLicks alternative
 

I cant afford slicks or drag radials and My Kumho Ecstas dont grip worth a ---- at the track. Is there anycheap alternatives for tires? Someone said well worn BFG's or some tires like that and possible with some rubber conditioner?

How does that sound?

Re:SLicks alternative
 

stop being so cheap u can find some very cheap drags for very little money...i think josh got his for 160-180.. one of those too... there are cheaper ones out there u just got to look

Re:SLicks alternative
 

add bleach then smoke the ---- out of you're tires.

A big ------- burnout

Re:SLicks alternative
 

a big burnout on stock tires wouldent give you any more traction.

and i dont think you should realy be raceing if you cant afford to buy slicks. what if you break somthing in your ride like.. the block.

Re:SLicks alternative
 

I used to think the same way until I actually started doing bigass burnouts on my street tires. I use to go around the wet box like your supposed to do but one time I went through it like woah and never looked back

Re:SLicks alternative
 

haha. go in the box get water in your tires and see what kinda traction you get. you burn them off and its still moist inside the treads.

street tires grip better cold in the first place.

Re:SLicks alternative

Re:SLicks alternative

If your broke search ebay for used slicks. I got 2 sets of some 20x8x14's that were in good condition for like 120 shipped.

Re:SLicks alternative
 

Problem with ebay is I've tried to get about 4 sets. No one ships tires to Canada! I cant find ANY cheap slicks. The cheapest price I got is 235 a tire, unmounted, unbalanced for 22.00X8.00X13.00. And nobody in my area carries cheaper lines. All M/T's and Hossiers. Plus I live in a hick area where slicks under 28" is a STUPID idea at all the shops!

Snow tires? I've heard that too because of soft rubber but They have ALOT of tread flex? Wouldn't that hurt the point of running soft tires?

Re:SLicks alternative
 

Somebody not too long ago asked about slicks. I told them buy "Blizzak" Slicks. Sure they're cheap for good slicks, but peeps are just gonna crack at ya with that name...

Re:SLicks alternative
 

would oyu see sparks?

Re:SLicks alternative
 

I did go in the waterbox and saw what kinda traction I got. 8)

I use to think the same way and this is why I used to go around the waterbox becuase it was supposed to be like "launcing in a puddle of water". Than one time I actually went through the waterbox and burned the living ---- out of my tires and I got getter launches becuase of it. By theory its wrong but by my experience it works well for me.

falken azenis, they are around 40 dollars a tire. I can cut a 2.2 i think I have even cut a 2.1 and I CANT DRIVE FOR ----.

do a search on honda-tech about those tires they are well known for begin cheap and pretty dang good.

27's what do you think I'm driven a camero

Re:SLicks alternative
 

snow tires are just your basic multi-ply tires with studs that are screwed into the outer edges of the tread. Nothing special.

Why don't you try chains on your tires?

that would be funny

Re:SLicks alternative
 

Bridgestone Blizzak

One of my buddies swears by these as a cheap alternative. Although, I have never seen them in action with my own 2 eyes

Re:SLicks alternative
 

snow tires are a joke around here, I wonder if they're cheaper because nobody needs them? onyx, send me a pair of snow tires and I'll do a fatty burnout with them and tell you if I get any sparks.
