Default 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

nittos all the way. they'll get more milage than bfg's and hook just as good. jegs or summit is going to have the lowest prices.

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.
