Drag Radials
I am wondering if some sponcers can chime in or someone can give me some idea on a good place to find tires for the right price.
I recently purchased a set of wheels for some drag radials. They are 17" wheels just like what i have on the car now. And im guessing it would be easiest if I stick with the same sized tire as what i have on their now which is 275 40 17.
Ive done a lot of reading in here and i think the best choice for me is going to be between the Nitto 555r and the BFG Drag radial.
I have a stock 10 bolt with 4.10 gears on a 6spd so I know I am sitting on a bombshell. Becuase of this im not looking for a tire to launch over 2.5k, just something that when i get the car moving I can mash the peddle and not break the tires loose.
Thanks

If you have a spare set of wheels for tires I have some 315/35R17 Nitto Drag Radials that are kinda wore down but I would sell them to you cheap if you want to just try them out. I can get pics so you can see them.

Well I ended up going with a nitto 555r tire from discount tires. Got them for 135 a piece 275 40 17. They had a add on ebay for thier ebay store with free shipping so the store is matching the price plus mounting and balancing
