Track/street wheels & tires For my '94 Formula, I'm looking at a set of Weld Racing Draglight wheels 15 X 10 with M/T 3757R ET 325/50/15 Street Radials for the rears. Up front, Weld Racing Draglite Wheels with M/T 3005 ET Front Drag skinnies.
I'm looking for the lightest package with the best traction that's also kindasorta street legal.
My quarters are already rolled to fit the BFG drag radials on 17 X 11's.
Should I be looking at something different?

I have the same combo(street tires up front) and it works great. I also drive mine daily(have for years) with no issues. I also had the same combo on my '95 TA for several years with no problems.
Traction wont be an issue. There are several cars(mine included) here that will testify to that!

how do slicks and skinnies handle driving on the highway? Im looking to get soem new wheels and tires in the spring and not sure whether to get street wheels or drag wheels. My car is a daily and will see a lot of time on the highway but i like to play hard on the weekends.

If you want a good street/strip tire go with a drag radial.
