Default Stickiest Street Treads

What seems to be the stickiest street radial with either Z or R rating.
I'm using 11 X 17s and sofar only come close to hooking up with MT street slicks. Would like a little more tread. Blown "98 F body."

I dont think you'll have to much luck with finding more tread. But i heard the Hoosier's hook pretty good on the street. Good luck.

If you are only hooking up with MT Slicks, then you are going to need to stick with an R compound. The BFG Drag radials really don't have any more tread, but this will be a good option. If you want a little more longevity out of the tires, I would consider heat cycling the next pair. This will bond the molecules in the rubber and prolong the life of the tire. Here's a link to our current prices
