295/65/15-295/55/15-325/50/15 mt et street? Hey guys i just bought weld drag lights 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing an i want to know which drag radials to put on my car with full rear suspension an 4:10 gears. The car made 527 on motor through a built M6. Which tire is gonna be the best in between tire for N/A an a big shot of nitrous? I'm running MT Sportsman SR 26x6's on the front. I'm am putting in the new 3 inch ARP studs tomorrow so i need to know which rear drag radials to order in for being on the street. The car run well the way it is, but at times i feel like i'm running out of gear an it makes power between 3500 an 7500 with a vic junior. Which tire is gonna be most efficient for me on the street this car will prolly never see the track... I just want to make it hook it's *** off on the street from whatever roll i want or whenever i dig race. It will get a turbo400 with a brake when this M6 takes a **** from the abuse on the street. 325/50/15 sounds ideal, but it's gonna take some fender rolling an iner fender beating i've herd. The 295/65/15 seems to be a tad bit tall since it's a 30 inch tire. The 295/55/15 seems to fit the build, but i'd rather roll the fenders to have a 325 versus not having a big enough contact surface to the ground. If you have any proven facts on these tire sizes an what works best by all means post up please with pics so i can see what to look for with fitment issues an what not.

I have 325's and love them. Ive done alot of researching on them also. All i had to do to make them fit was BFH mod. Other then that they fit well. Im also running Non adjustible Lca's and lowered with the hose mod.

Damn those are some fantastic rides you have there sir! Those meats on the back are mighty concrete hungry i'd say! What exactly do you have to beat in on the inner fender??? I don't give to ***** about the bump stops so those aren't an issue what else do i have to massage in order to fit them properly

I didnt have to touch the bumpstop ether. Just gotta do alotta pounding on the inner wheel well. Once your done and check that nothing rubs, just spray some undercoating where it was beat in. You wont be able to tell it happend.

Do you guys think the 325 would hook harder than the 295/55??? I'm gonna spray the car so i think the 325 is gonna work out to my advantage with a 28' 13.5 tire...??? Definately thinkin that the 325 is going to be the weapon of choice for sure! Does anyone else have pictures of before and afters??? Guys in the single digits what do you think about this situation? I want the ultimate traction on the street an the car will be getting a BMR Extreme antirollbar an either the eibach drag launch springs for the Lt1 cars or a set of shocks an struts until i do a k-member an A-Arms upper lower... That is when the car hooked the hardest an since i have a iron block i think the weight transfer will be perfect since the Lt1 cars are heavier a bit in the front end... Or i'm doing QA1's all the way around. Alot of guys said bias ply, but foreal i want a tire that is gonna drive well all around if i decided that the welds were gonna be on for a few days for the weekend racing.
