96ET Member 62 Member For: 12y 1m 25d Gender: Male Posted 21/01/13 12:35 AM Share Posted 21/01/13 12:35 AM Hey Guys,I want to run some drag slicks on my G6E I have been told that 17" xr8 rims are a good start.I have absolutely no idea what type of tire our size to go with.My car is only currently making 400hp at the wheels but am upgrading the turbo soon.I would like to drag tires that will still be suitable for running 10 second passes.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just grab some ba/bf xr6 17" rims and your away. Any of the above tyre will cope up to mid 8's."." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
