Anyone swap from standard sidewalls to stiff sidewalls in a door car? What was the outcome? I did, but it wasn't on purpose, ordered standard and got stiff sidewalls. Had a race the next day so I ran them anyway. Seems like the MPH picked up 2 mph over best pass with the stiff sidewalls in the 1/8th but stayed the same in 1/4. Whats up with this? Looks like is moving around at the 330' a little but the 60' is consistent. Had to drop the tire pressure by 1 lb to get them to work. Tire pressure: Standard sidewalls 7 psi, stiff sidewalls 6 psi, 7 psi wouldn't work.
Setup: 2750 lbs Struts/4link 555 = 950 hp 1/4 ET 8.50's @158 to 160 / 1/8 ET 5.40's @126 to 130 |

Sounds like the Gremlin is getting a little nervous and it may not be tires at all! Rumor has it that a certain Chevelle may be installing some electronics soon? I would take some out of the box and dial up one!
Gotcha K MO. Good luck with the tires. |

Looks like a car that is perfect for stiff sidewall tires, with that weight and power.
Might take some shock tuning to get it to stick downtrack. "Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular" Dave Cook N375 |
