Default what tires for +1000RWHP ?

Hi like title says , Searched and didn't found any result for my 2001 Trans Am , let me explain to get the point well .....

* Car has LSX 454 + lot of nitrous and will pulls above 1000 at the wheels , exactly 400HP of nitrous (Direct port system - Progressive setup )

I bought Mickey Thompson ET radial Tires and didn't tested them yet


It has full suspension , RPM full built Transmission T56

All the car equipped by AES Racing , they're sponsor here

All races will be high rolling above 70MPH to avoid spinning issues

*So what tires u guys recommend for this car ?

*More one question ( I have Torque thrust II wheels the rear size 17inch width 11inch ) 335 /35R17 tires will fit ?

I dont see a problem running n/a at highway speeds and hitting it. Spraying it well I see wheel spin. From a dig good luck n/a and spraying.

I think those are probably the best tires you can go with since you are staying at a 17" rim that's 11" wide. Although I do agree with SHovV, 345s would be the best way to go.

These tires may be 335s but the M/T 315s are are going to be stickier.

Those should hook good if its setup right on the progressive controller. Thats a lot of damn power tho, especially on the hose.

This. You're gonna have a heck of a time getting that much power to hook on a 26" tire. 27" or 28" will work alot better. But, the progressive controller should help alot, but the bigger tires will handle more of a hit

++++1 ^^^

you don't need to go wider, 10.5" can handle the power, so why u need to go wider, as photochop said, u need to go with taller wheel, then consider ur suspension, weight transfer, and stay away from kumho.

finally don't shot nitrous through gears .

I was always under the assumption that taller tires on little 15s can get pretty squirly compared to a shorter sidewall tire.

325/45/17 M&H radial. Has alot of sidewall and that will be good to handle that power. Im running them on my car, but I have about 200hp less than you.
