    I very seldom drive the car on the street with the Bogarts on.
    They are used almost exclusively for strip use. They aren't intended for regular street duty.
    The weight savings is significant.


    There are 2 designs of the M/T tire, one is rated for a heavier car than the other. More sidewall plies, I think. I got the heavier ones, but it is probably overkill unless I start pulling the wheels up on a launch and the car slams down on them. I don't see that happening any time soon. HA! HA!

    The other thing to consider is: do you want something with threads on it or a slick/smooth skinny. With the threads, you drag water towards the starting line when you exit the water box, if you have driven through it for the burnout. Then the rear tires hit the water at launch.
    That was pointed out to me AFTER I bought the ones with threads.

    Considering the track record Jeff has with the tech nazis, it may be significant that the spacers are already welded to the wheel. Not sure though...


    That was why I mentioned it.

    Hell people have messed up bogarts just at the strip. I had no intentions of driving on the street with skinnies.
