Its not the width of a tire.. its the thickness of sidewall that helps.

Actually it is both

track tires are a must.. donald ran 12.6 on 19's with plenty of wheel spin in 2nd.. threw on some drag radials and got his 11.9...

(6mt xi coupe)

When I was in the market, I could not find one AT ALL.
There was ONE new-on-the-lot in the entire country...
Could not find a used one for sale to save my life.
I had to order mine.

Now there are used ones for sale... I would have rather saved the cash.

Yup, they aren't that bad.
I have achieved 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds, and a 12.1 qtr with the Generals. That is with a 2.0-2.1 60' time. There have been times when I put on the Hoosiers and got no better time on the street.

UHPs are garbage. Get some GYs or Michelins.

You possibly also need a wheel alignment. This can make a big difference
