Default Taking the SS to the track for the first time in a while. A few questions.

Can anybody in the Houston area get proper drag radials onto my car before Friday afternoon for a 18 inch wheel?

If I'm unable to get drag radial's on my car, who has experience on the track with the 555 street tires? How are they? What recommended tire pressure should I run? Should I just air them down to 20 PSI, clean them off and then launch off idle?

This is for a sub-400 RWHP M6 SS.

Even with the track open the 555's should work just fine, especially is youre just going for test and tune. I launch consistent 2.0's and a handful of 1.9's on my pos firehawks, and im sure the 555's stick better than the firehawks.

It sure is. I assumed that somebody had already checked it since I was invited.

Go to any discount tire and get the 555r's. They have them in stock at most locations in a 18" rim size.
