4.10 seem to be the popular choice for the AOD, for tires i would look into the NT05's seems they offer the best of both worlds
ok my 86 gt has an AOD. I got to the track weekly. I am about ready to order tires. I am debating between slicks and radials. What would be the best tire? Also does anyone have 3.73 or 4.10 in their AOD stang? If so which one works best? Thanks
Drag Radials perhaps?
If it's track only, by all means, slicks. Slicks don't work well at all on the street because they are designed to work on a preped surface and need to be heated and very clean, not a condition that you will find on the street.
Drag radials are designed to be used on the street. They work decent on the track, but are a night/day difference on the road.
I've run both 275 drag radials and 28x9" slicks on the street for a lot of miles and the slicks hook so much better it's not even funny. If you use them enough they stay relatively clean. Even without a burnout or anything the difference is very clear. The drag radials almost always need to be feathered out of the hole and usually haze going into 2nd unless you do a good burnout and use vht. The slicks even without a burnout or prep hook 10 times better and hit 2nd so hard it feels like the rear end is gonna fall out. And if you do prep?? Say hello to rev limiter launches on the street. There's no comparison.

We have run pretty much everything. ET street radials can work ok with a good burnout but last about 3 miles, and get all balled up when driving normal then don't hook for ****. I run old style bfg drag radials now and they last forever and work pretty damn good. The only slicks I have run are et drags and like I said they make radials look like a joke as long as they aren't freezing cold and dirty. But honestly, who races without at least cleaning them off?
What rims are you using?
I run Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals on my Notch and it will plant 430 rwhp on the street using said tires. They hook just as well as the Nitto's I ran.
Your next mod needs to be a Hellion turbo set up.
Not the experience a freind and I had when we ran some ET Streets on the street.
I got the stock 10 holes. My quickest run is 9.13@76 at irwindale on street tires. I heard stock rear ends can't handle slicks hence the radial question. Thanks for the input
Just an fyi. I broke a stock axle with a stock motor on the bfg drag radials 2nd pass at the track.
To people saying drag radials hook better than slicks, you're having some serious operator error going on. It's a night and day difference between drag radials and slicks. I've tried it once or twice.
Becasue people go with a wider Radial than slicks, it's cheaper to do. Drag Radials can crinkle better off the line.(So I have been told.) It really does depend on the track though.
