Default New wheel setup

Well after not much luck with traction I bit the bullet on the 15 inch setup. Went with m&h race masters for street use. Just wondering what slicks you guys have been having luck with at the track? I got a set of ET street R tires im gonna try but I'd like to try a bias ply. Any suggestions and sizes?

It's nuts... going from using nitto invos to this is awesome. Can hook second pretty good. I'm only 950 rwhp so it works great for me. I can see the guys making big hp though still struggling. But the m&h are a great street tire. I'm gonna be using the et street r as my track tire.

great to hear. I'm at ~900whp and no chance can hook ET street R on a 17" rim in second gear on the street. can't wait to make the conversion to 15"s

Not the best pic but one thing I will say... you have to remove a lot of material.... we had to do it two or three times until we got it right.
