Default 17" DR M6 1/4 times! post up!!

If you don't swap tires when you go to the track and running on 17" drag radials I want to know your info. I prefer M6 cars to post but A4 is welcome to post.
What's your best e.t, mph, 60 ft?
What's your mods / rwhp?
What tire have you found to work best for you?
Suspension mods?
What kind of car and weight ?
Tire/ wheel combo?

Thanks

After studying up hard...... I think Hoosier has the stickiest drag radial on the market.

It is, especially for marginal track prep. Not sure about the MT pro's nut the older MT's and every other DR used all steel belts. Hoosier uses fiber glass belts. They are light and have more sidewall flex. You can air them down pretty low and they hook on ice. I used them on the street and they always hooked. Car would 1.5 at the track. 275/45/17.

that's just awesome!! It's very very interesting on how a belt in the tire made from a different material make that much of a difference.
