    my maverick is 2700 but it is stripped of interior and other uneccesary stuff. i've run M/T et streets and et street drag radials for many years and never had them move on the rim for me. i run high 11's, low 12's at 110-115 mph. :)

    My little ole car is running tubeless and NOT screwed....never had any problems with my tires spinning on the rim...I agree with Rick.

    i think thats about right for a later Mav, even with those anchors on the front and back , alot more wieght in later years


    so with full interior full tank ( 16-18 gallons ??) id say thats about right with an all steel car
