Going to my first pull this weekend at the buck in PA. I'm going to try and get everything setup this week, I have a choice of either 265 toyo M/Ts or 285 firestone destination A/Ts. Which tire would be better to pull with? I also might beable to get a set of 315 BFG a/ts on h2s, only problem with those is I would think they would rub with the t-bars down??

Anything else I should know? I gathered already to drop the bars, 4lo in 3rd with t/h on, won't beable to get traction bars in time, but they are on my list. Any advice would be appreciated.....Thanks:D

clamp the rear springs, hitch height as high as possible, run those BFGs on H2 IMO. Susp. blocks for the rear if allowed and time permitting.

If it's a good clay track, it takes lots of power to run those 3.15's. Takes some "remodeling" to make them clear also.

Well, I won't be able to use the 315 BFGs, so should I use the 265 mts or 285s? Rules won't let me block the rear, but I made spring clamps this afternoon so other than what tires to use I should be all set!!!

Run the 285's you will get more ground speed. The A/T should hook just fine.
