What would you guys do? I have a 100mile round trip to the track, how fast would this wear them out? What do you guys who don't have a trailer do? These are MT ET Streets BTW.

 

Get someone with a truck to haul them if you can and have a spare set of wheels. They are made to be driven on the street though, hence the name. Depending how far the track is, you may wear them down faster, but not that much I don't think.

 

I would put them in the boat

 

You can fit two slicks inside a 'vert, believe it or not. I used to do it and swap them at the track. You will wear them out in no time driving that far.

Not only wear them out quickly but you'll dry them out faster. The increased temperature for extended driving on them will dry out the oils in the rubber needed to make them sticky in a burnout.

There's also the risk of driving over something and puncturing a slick.

Through them in the back and change them at the track. If it was about 20-30 miles round trip I'd say do it but not 100

 

Even though my car has never had anything but slicks out back and it sees alot of street time, in your case a tire swap would be in your favor to increase tire life, but I only go through a set a month so I figure what the heck anyways and I would make the drive, air them upto 20-30 psi and your good to go

 

I have no problem with swapping them at the track, but what do you do with your street tires? Do you just leave them to the side of the pits, or bring a chain and lock them to something?

 

I used to chain them to the bleachers at our local track. No one seems to mess with them when they got a big *** lock on them.

 

Change tires at the track. Despite the "Street" designation they are track only tires. They puncture easily and wear out fast on the street. They corner like crap and can even roll off the rim in a corner. Just a hint of rain and you will hydroplane between 24-26 mph. Plus, if you mix radials and bias ply you are probably out of compliance with any local inspections laws that may be in effect.

Also, if you do get a flat, you would look really silly with a little donut on one side.

 

I have them on my car...looking for some spare rims right now to replace them. I drove it to work which is 50 miles round trip. I wouldn't do it again. I also have no front sway bar and just a slight jerk of the wheel at 75 mph makes it sway back and forth really badly...almost uncontrolled. I know the sway bar is part of it, but i had my little brothers rims with khumos on for a while and it handled 100 times better.

Get some spare rims

 

And to put another nail in the coffin.... sticky slicks pick up every stone on the road, and hurl them into your lower fenders, messing the paint up.

I'll repeat what has been said above... if it rains, you're screwed. Handling will be poor. I live 6 miles from the local track, and drove it there a couple times, not recommended.

 

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like i'll be swapping 'em at the track.

 

I would also advise you switch them at the track..considering I got my car impounded and was issued 4 tickets for driving to the track on my slicks....lets just say I change them at the track now
