Hey Guys, I have a 4 seater with a N/A 2.5 Subaru motor in it, motor was built by Outfront and has about 210hp. I was wondering if anyone has a simular setup and if so what size paddle tires are you running? The car weights about 1200 lbs and has a swingaxle. If I forgot anything let me know.

WOW, this is amazing. I stumped everyone on this question.

Let me give you a little more info, I switched the motor from a 2076 to the Subaru. I currently have 1300 Dick Cepic paddles on the sandrail and they seem to spin the tires too much. I was considering the STU 1300 plus tires, but I am not sure if I should go with the #1 or #2 cut?

some spin can be good it can save your trans from getting sudden traction esp if you are still using the type 1 swing axle.

I have the same motor from John in my SU car. I run Xtreme tires in the back and it does fine. I think they are the 14.50 12's x15 or something like that

tires

My cars at Johns right now getting a Turbo set up. It also depends on your gearing in the trans.

I'll look when I go back to Johns or call down there and ask what size back tires are on Donald's red SU car.
