Single Digit Club - how many in here on 17 drag radials?

im looking to go 9s on 17 drag radials

What size? Me too. On 315's

i will be on 315 mickeys mounted to weld rts 17x11

I know MIGHTYMOUSE went 8s on 17s, deeper on bigs and skinnies...

Still kicking myself for buying Nittos over MT's

nittos are great for the street just driving around if you want more traction than regular radials , and happen to get caught in the rain , but mickeys hook better

I wanted to run 9's with the stock wheels on (widened 2" in the rear) but failed. It took Bogarts with 28 x 11.5 QTP's to get me in the 9's.

im going to try next summer with my 315 mickys. went 9s with my 325/50/15 mt but the 17s will be some work

I know MIGHTYMOUSE went 8s on 17s, deeper on bigs and skinnies...

thanks man!

tried to improve on my best on the 17's end of last year and got stuck on a 9.1 at 161.. not having enough track is pretty common on those tires!

heck of a car for sure, but sounding and acting as radical as it is kinda defeats the purpose of pump gas and street size tires.

if it has electric cutouts on it that would be good

Tiago also ran mid 9s with 18 CCW M&H tires..

I'm hoping for high 9s with 18 also. :D

Agreed!!! Nitto's are far better on the street than the M/T's. But, turn it around at the track. Almost totally opposite.

When ya'll say "nittos" are you refering to the 555dr's or the new NT05dr's? I've seen the NT05dr's and they are super soft compared to the old 555dr's. No experience with them yet though.

Yes, the Nitto drags, at least I think, are far better on the streets. Regular Nittos up front.
