Default Tyres

Hello Everyone,

I have a TC Cortina with a Clevo. The motor should be a low 300hp and should run mid 12's. They are light in the rear and the car is untubbed. The Engine builder has recommended that I run a 26" x 8.5 slick. General opinion is that I should run the MT Street ET as oppossed to a full slick. Problem is, I can't get a 26 x 8.5 MT. I can get 24" which is no good for my combo or a 26"x 9.5 which is too wide for the car. Does anyone have any suggestions. The alternative is that I just go to a full slick and, as I understand I'll have to run front runners which is something I didn't want to do, one, for the extra cost and two, for the unwated attention on the street.The car currently is running radials at the front. Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers.
