Any feedback on using these tires on the front skinny Demon wheels?

I love them. I had them on my '19 REWB and now I am using them on my '21 SS. I set them to 65psi for the 35 minute drive to the track. Pump them them up to 85psi for the track runs and then back down to 65psi for the ride home.

Thank you. I’ll order up a pair of these today. Just to clarify…. Are you using 4.5” wide Demon wheels?

I have them on my 18X5 Forgestar wheels at the moment, but they will fit the Demon wheels. They are good down to a 4.0 wheel.

Sweet, thanks!

Sweet, thanks!

They are an excellent tire and will fit that wheel without any issues. I left mine at 75 PSI all the time.

Those psi numbers seem extremely high, no issue on the tires being overinflated??

The front runners I use show a max pressure of 35psi. This seems odd too

It depends on the tire. The MT front runner is made for heavier cars and is used as a road tire for the old time hot rods that is why it has a max psi of 95psi. Where as the M&H front runners are a drag only tire and have a much lower max psi I think around 40psi. The MT also weighs more then the M&H and can handle a heavier load.

Thanks for that info.

Thanks for that info. I have MH and at the 35 they specify the tire seems to appear low. That was why i was wondering. I did not realize the differences between MT and MH

I had a set of the M&H front runners on my '19 REWB and they always looked like they were low. When I drove the car at the track I felt a lot of resistance like my brakes were locked up from all of the drag from the tires looking flat. On a lighter narrow body the M&H aren't so bad, but the heavier WB's max out the load allowed for those tires.

Those plastic flares are really heavy

🙄

I have them on a Demon, of course these cars are 5k lbs so very heavy. i wished i would have known before i purchased front runners.

 

[SickToo]

I have a plastic variable length runner intake I’ll trade ya for that big heavy smog pump spinning thing you have on top of yers…

Straight across - I won’t even ask for any cash…

Prolly take 100 pounds off yer car!

Lemme know : )

 

[SickToo]

*Would be wayyy better for yer tires : )

I was referring to the suspension components of the WB RE's, SS's and Demons. A lot off the suspension parts are beefier on these certain models making them weigh more then the NB's.

 

[SickToo]

Maybe that’s why the older hellcat challenger’s were faster than the new ones?

I would yank all that and call AFCO. They can build you front coil overs

They are not cheap tho

About $7k to do the front

Also don't forget ever changing safety rules and regulations that could be making the new one heavier as well. Look at Speedy's Garage on here and Youtube. I talked to him about the M&H front runners and he recommended them because that is what he uses on his older NB Hellcat. Also the RE's, SS's, and Demon's are heavier then all of the other Hellcat's NB & WB up front because they have beefier motor internals and a larger blower. I think the front to back weight distribution for them is 59 to 41 which is not good.
