    2019 "Poverty Pak" Widebody Challenger

    Definitely sage advice. I am not super concerned (temperature controlled garage stored) as these will most likely not last long (expect lots of street miles), and we'll move on to something else or replacements.

    I think you're going to be okay with 2.5oz with the lighter bias ply tires. I believe they wanted to put 3oz in mine but err'd on the side of caution.

    2019 "Poverty Pak" Widebody Challenger

    Thanks. Because I had them on hand (like new from DW 2016). Originally (IIRC) M&H was the first to market a 28" tall tire for a 17" rim, and I had good results with them over the years so I didn't hesitate to run them on this car. They have a pretty soft sidewall.

    M/T 305/45-17 vs Hoosier 28x10.5-17DBR Comparison?

    Case in point here is a M&H 325/45R17 "squared" on a 17x11 wheel: https://www.hellcatforum.org/threads/2019-poverty-pak-widebody-challenger.3128/post-64785

    2019 "Poverty Pak" Widebody Challenger

    Picked my drag pack up from the shop today. They put 4 ounces of beads in all four wheels as the fronts weigh just about as much as the rears. The rears went on without lube and they elected to bead seal them to reduce slippage - not quite what I asked for but I guess they'll hold air just...

    What do you use to wash your car?

    Mostly the nappy wash mitts for really grimy days, otherwise it get a synthetic wool mitts - both are microfiber. I also have dedicated MF nappy mitts for the wheels, and a tire brush. A bunch of different MF towels for drying and polishing. I used to use Meguire's Gold soap in my pressure...

    Really scared myself in the Hellcat. Time to move on?

    There is a reason I got mine in cocaine white.

    Best 18" tire for Hot Rod Drag Week (driving and racing on same tire) ?

    To lessen the sting we could always arrange a bulk purchase using my discount and import them through the US.

    Face it these cars are a bad influence. Are you weak-willed? The best way to get "it" out of your system is at the track - after you climax, you can just relax and putt on home.

    Best 18" tire for Hot Rod Drag Week (driving and racing on same tire) ?

    LOL - I think I am going to need a bi-monthly tire budget once I get going this year.

    Best 18" tire for Hot Rod Drag Week (driving and racing on same tire) ?

    The 555R and 05R are different beasts. When I had 05Rs on my Turbo Buick I was still pulling the same 60' times when they were new and well worn - the big difference being that car had an adjustable 4-link and these cars are saddled with IRS.

    Best 18" tire for Hot Rod Drag Week (driving and racing on same tire) ?

    That's how my brother and I approached it when we went: Just for the experience. We pulled a trailer (including a spare transmission) since we were quite a ways from home, and needed room a four wheel drag pack for an AWD SUV. You are going to have a blast - try to do as much daytime driving...

    Brand new NT05Rs will be fine for 1000 miles and 5ish passes.

    Me too. I've been completely enamored with the "Demon" drag-look since that car's debut. In other news I tried another font style/design for the other marker light. Hand drawing and hand cutting this out is very laborious - I think I need a small vinyl cutter plotter thingy. The border I...

    So today I learned a little something that may uniquely apply to the 2018+ HC platforms regarding HP Tuners and which Suite to run. I don't think it is written anywhere (at least that I found since buying the my car) but in order to properly read and scan the car you must be running the Beta...

    Really scared myself in the Hellcat. Time to move on?

    I've been making this case often for people who buy high/over-powered cars: too much car, not enough talent. Most people let pride and poor judgment drive their decision to do/not do something about it. Take an HPDE, define your limitations, and improve upon them. The street is not the place...

    Thanks, but I don't have the interest in pursuing that kind of initiative.
