Default Decision on tires for this season...

I need to buy some new tires for this year and kinda up in the air. Should I go with another set of :
26.5 x 11 x 16" Et streets - very consistent 60's 1.45-1.40
or
MT's new drag radials in comparable size?

I'm going with the new HOOSIER Drag Radial !!!

If they hook as good as their slicks this will be very interesting!!!!!

I just mounted my MT DR's yesterday. Did some street launching on an M6 with Spec 3 and 413 rwhp.

These ****'s hook like no other. It was owning my motor big time! I will need to dump the clutch at no less than 5-6 grand to avoid my Z falling on it's face.

"Tires by SuperGlue." My stock driveshaft and torque arm are very mad at me now.

I ahve to agree, I pulled 1.51's on 235/60r15 mt radials. With a leaf spring suspended S-10 at that. On the stock LS wheels. What fun to kill people on the street with a stock looking 10 second S-10.
