Drag Racing Tech - What are the best tires for the street/track??

I will have a 2800-3000 stall with a 2.5 str. WHat do u recommened?

I used 17 inch Nittos on my 99SS A4 for stripe/street. Vary air pressures for best results at track. On the street, everyone seems to recommend 25 pounds. Good luck in your selection. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

if you have 17's get the 17inch nittos...

if you have 16's get the 16 inch nittos.. i run a 245/50/16 nitto on a draglite XP...

see sig for 60 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Another alternative is the new Toyo RA-1. I'm gonna try them this week so I'll let you guys know how they are. They are more of an autocross tire, but for a mildly modded car they should work well as a street/strip tire. Here is the link:

Hands down, Nitto Extreme Drags. Perform great on the road in all conditions (except snow <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ). And do very well at the strip.

were can I get tehse Nitto's at?

I've been told that the RA-1s are slightly softer than the Nitto drags, so we'll see how they perform. I bought a set today, and get them installed tomorrow or Wednesday (if it doesn't snow I'm getting them tomorrow) They will be my April to October tires for daily driving, with about 5 or 6 trips to the dragstrip. They are Z rated, so they should have pretty good street manners. I just hope they'll give me what I want at the strip. My LT1 is bone stock, so with these tires, if I'm lucky, I'll see a 13.8 this weekend (it's only going to be about 45-50F on Saturday, so it's good horsepower weather)

Update, got my RA-1s mounted today, and drove home in wet snow! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> They handled that pretty well though, so they'll make a good rain tire I'm sure. The compound is very soft, but not quite as soft as BFG drag radials. It feels softer than Nitto drag radials as I suspected though. Should be interesting to see how they hook up! Tomorrow the roads should be dry and I can check it out.
