900whp turbo auto car... what tires?
I recently posted a thread about the power i made so far with my 416 s480 combo, i run around 100% of the time on my 17x4.5 15x10 billet specialty setup.. so Ive been set on 295 et streets, anyone have any reccomendation for better tires or comments on the MT's? Its a 90% street car that I want to hook up on the street, i considered nittos but i also wanna cut 1.3's or so at the track when i go... qtp's are out of the question as the street eats them up so quick and thats whats on my car now, doesnt feel stable at high speeds all on the street. Thanks guys

295/55 on my car. Holds well in 2nd gear rolls from 40-50 mph and up on full power. Hold really good on lower mid range power. 1.3 track 60's no problem. Dont last very long tho if your goin to track often and burning tire on the streets lol

seems like on mickeys site thats the only 28inch tall radial compound tire for a 15inch rim.... my onlly problem is how the hell ima fit a 325, i like my car low and it seems ppl with 325's sit so damn high in the back.. what would you guys do? i love the new design on the tire, but idk its either makin these puppies fit onna 10wide, or gettin the 295/55 et streets, ole faithfuls

Assuming you don't have room for the 325 50 drag radial the 295 would give you the biggest contact patch in the 28" tall mt tires. If you have room for a 30" tall tire the 315 will give you more tire on the ground. Also if you went to a wider wheel (which if you already paid for beadlocks I'm sure you don't want to do) you could pick up some more contact on a 12" or 14" wheel.
