Im having trouble deciding what slicks to run. I need help deciding on the size i can run in a foxbody Its an 86 lx with moroso drag springs and 50/50 lakewoods. Im worried about rub with the tire with the weight transfer and squat of the rear end.(im running 90/10's upfront) I run mostly track, occasional street, so a drag slick is fine. any help?

i was thinking more along the lines of a street or drag slick. Do the sizes vary from tire to tire? could i run a 28x12.5x15? or even a 28x11.5x15?

what kind of times do you run and what gears are in the car and what's the rpm range of your motor? you might not need that much tire.
