I ran the 26X8 QTPs. I had them on stock wheels. I LOVED those things.

I don't think they EVER spun me, even on unprepped tracks. What a great tire!

Best 60ft was a 1.56 with the stock D5 convertor.

Daniel. I tried to get them here in Sweden, but no one had them in stock. To have them shipped from Hoosier US was $549.60 Then add the friggin taxes and custom here.

I bought the M/T ET Streets 28*11,5-16 instead, as this was the only tire to get for 16*8 rims.

See You in Vasteras the 14th.

I dont want any 28 tires... Well, we will see how they work on your car, if you dont react against them so...

YO gang!

Is this a swedish thread or what?

Anyway, i had 26" on my GN and switched to 28" and got faster time but the same speed with them.

The secret is that the more higher tires you can use is that they will work better with the sides of the tire and will not spinn as easy as the lower ones.
