Peabody HoldawayHow "big" is your small block?

TOP38Little Bubba's are a great tire to start with but the last thing you want to do with a small block car is to over tire it.
As previously stated, how much power does you combo have?

Very true! I had a dragster with a little motor on it way back when and the car was much more consistent with smaller tires. Night and day difference between the 16 x 33 tires a lot of people ran back then and the 14.5 x 32 that my car liked.

Bob NicholsSo you have 16" wheels on a smallblock car? The "Bubbas" are designed for 16" wheels only.
3191W are the Little Bubbas used on a dragster.

SP 124XMy small block car liked MT 3074 14x32. That being said if you have 16" beadlock wheels 10.5x33-16s is what I'd look into.

What size small block did you run and what kind of dragster? If you don't mind my asking

B-rad2416Two options, 3190w and 3191w. 3190 is a stiff sidewall tire. Both are little bubbas

Then I would run the MT 3074 that tire has worked well on my car.

SP310GHard tail Spitzer running low 8.0x. I use a 3074 with a 388 sbc.

teamSBC 4 link Racetech dragster, two different motors.
429sbc 15deg. mid-high 4.70s
406sbc 23deg. mid-high 5.0s
Both with 3074s M/T.
January 29, 2018, 03:51 PM
TOP38Without more info I would say the 3074's also

66belairThanks everyone for the replies. We have a new shorty 4 link coming and not a lot of motor. Looks like the 3074s is gonna be it. Which is exactly what my very close friend has already state to me.

Curly1I think on that car the 3074 (not the "S") might be the better choice. Heavier door car I would go with the "S" stiffer sidewall.

66belairThanks guys. Very excited about this new car
January 30, 2018, 05:55 AM
Curly1The 3074 tire is a 15 inch tire, the Little Bubba is a 16 and I think they recommended a 16 x 16 rim WITH beadlocks. Also I think the Little Bubba is a taller tire. Both are good tires but I think the 3074 may be a better choice for you.
And good luck with the new car.

Bludog331Do any of you guys running the 3074's have issues when the track gets marginal? I just asked because of with lack weight back there with the small block set up. I'm running 33x16 Hoosiers with a 443 sbc running high 5.0's. I would consider trying a smaller tire and an M/T just to loose the burnout shake and some rotational weight if the 3074's are good even when the track gets greasy or cold.
