So what is the best choice of tire for a low 9 to mid 8s door car for consistency. 3000± pounds.

Let's hear choices and air pressure recommendations. Slips, logs, preferable.

Sorry. Don't recall and share for all.

The biggest that will fit. I like the MT 3084S 33x16x15 on my 3600lb high 6 sec pickup truck. 9-10 psi, foot brake leaving at 2800rpm, but still experimenting for best approach to print 60’ slips. No tubes with 32 rim screws in each wheel...

Dang You sound like me but I have little tires.

Biggest tire you can put on it, the MT 3084S is a very good tire for a door car. Would like to understand what ET, HP, gearing, trans gear, etc. to be able to provide a true recommendation.

Guys, is there a set definition of what defines the term "big tire", plz? Over 10.5" wide or so?

Lol, if I act like a dummy, I learn more....

Big tire definition...does not fit in stock wheel wells, requires back half/narrowed rear housing/tubs.

Gotcha, Ed; thank you.

My Monte is 3200 with me in it...I run the MT 3084S tires..I have rim screws, 5 in and 5 out with no tubes...I put 12.1 lbs. in them to race...I ran Hoosiers for years but found the MT's to be a bit more consistent on my junk...mine is a slow pump gas bracket car going 6.50's @ 103 with a 1.40 short time...

32x16x15 on my car. Love to have a 33 or 34 tall but they won't fit. After the back half, there was more than enough room to go wider so I went from a 14 to a 16 wide and still have more room.
