Fastest Street tire GTO

Its been a while since i seen anything mentioned,i had the fastest pass on a real street tire,no drag radials a few years ago,has anybody beat it? 11.80s a 1.76 60 ft.I ran several 7.60s in the 8th.Anybody getting a good run on a street tire?

I know JetNitro ran a 11.70 or 11.80 something on street tires smurfing around one day. 60ft was a 1.7 something.

I've gone 10.91s on street tires. MT DRs....now some will argue they aren't a street tire and I'll argue they are. It's DOT approved, the car was inspected with them on and I drive the car everyone on those tires. Therefore, street tires. No one will convince me otherwise so don't try.

If that's not what you're looking for in this thread, my bad.

EDIT: Pretty sure if I threw on a set of BFG KDWs or something I could beat an 11.7.

Yeah, that's not what he was looking for.

Everyone knows what "street tire" really means. M/T ET Streets(slicks) are DOT approved too. I guess they are street tires.

Hey those are great runs,i mean a 40,000 mile tire something that you would find on a daily driver.I was on kumo 225 35 20s.Im sure there have been several better runs by now just wonder what those are,i only had 530 rwhp back in them good ole days LOL

Come on Thomas we all know you have no car or shop....

The only time I ran on street tires (18" Toyo T1R's) I ran a 12.04 @ 120.48, with a 2.06 60' with my M6 running N/A.

Thanks, I'm hopeful that with a good set of tires and a good 60' I could chip it down to a high 11.5x @ 122-125mph N/A then hit it with a small shot and see what she will do. We'll see I guess.

Back in August '08, some of the local Tampa Bay herd got together at Bradenton MSP for a Street Tire Drive Mod Challenge. Fun time, inspite of it being held in the middle of the hot & humid Florida summer. On Michelin Pilot Sport 235/40/18s I cut a 1.73 60' and a 12.2 ET. At least those were the #s to the best of my recollection Good enough to earn a free cheeseburger from my "Younger Brother" - bmackenn

We need to set up another event so I can defend my title This time the results could be significantly different

Yea that's right you were there I had 4 tires a jack and a bunch of other crap in the car when I ran that. It was more of a I don't give smurf run. I remember I feathered out of the hole like 1/4 throttle for about 50-60 feet then started getting into more ,when I hit second gear the car chirped really hard and started to spin me to the left... I stayed in it side ways and regained control. that was a run I will never forget or most likely try again.I think his 60' ft was better though I think I was 1.79 I remember the MPH @ 121.XX

10.59 @ 126.61 MPH N/A 346 c.i H/C Stock Bottom End... 1.460 60 ft

Now that's impressive! A4?

OH man see if you can find it...I was pretty sideways after 2nd gear for a long while and didn't let off the throttle

never tried it....hmm maybe I'll leave the General UHP's on for a few runs next time just to see what happens.

It makes you wonder how crazy the F.A.S.T. series is running 11's and 10's on 8" bias ply tires.

At my last race we did some testing for our end of season true street tire event. On the factory stock tires & rim (only 2000 miles on them) went 11.23 at 129 2.1 60” and 11.31 at 127 2.01 60” Earlier that same day on MT Dr’s it went 10.26 at 133 and 10.33 at 133, I’m hoping to run in the 10.7 to 10.8 range when it’s all said and done. Just need a little more tuning to pull a little more power on the hit and lay it all in down track.

I’m testing again Oct 3rd I’ll post up some videos.

here are the timeas from our True Street Tire Outlaw Class (295 tire or smaller)
Steve R 10.31 @ 138mph (10.46 average #1)
John A - 10.55 @ 137mph (10.65 average #4)
Gary S - 10.57 @ 134mph (10.59 average #2)
Colin W - 10.59 @ 132mph (10.61 average #3)

I've gone low 11's on Nitto's but they were the drag radials.

We have a local street tire class but I've never bothered to enter, I like the paint on my car just fine and I don’t want to do the guard rail boogie

here is a good way to put the hole street tire thing. it is a street tire if it has a tread wear number over 0

My buddy Pete went 12.0 @ 122 on a set of Blizzaks in his aps gto a few years ago now. Mechanic58 just bought his car

That is just plain sick. Some people say you gain mph when spinning. I've seen the opposite. Just as you're showing.

I've went 10.98 on 275 Nittos. It can be done.

That's some crazy times I probably have about 4000 miles on the factory stockers from 2004.

It must have been all wheel drive on those tires. LOL

These are a 40 tw rating. I think he means something more like a 200 or more.

I pulled lot of power out down low but it was still spinning.. you do MPH more if you spin off the line

I ran 12.6 on the factory original BFGs.

Have you done anything to the suspension to get them to hook better?

stock with drag-bags, for what his car is, it is FAST!!
