Drag Radials for 18x9 wheel
Hey, I'm having a hard time finding drag radials for the size wheels I run. I know 18x9 isn't an ideal setup for drag radials but i'm trying to make it work.
Anyways right now im running a 275/35/18 summer tire all around on my car. After the stall and new trans I will spin through first second and even into third sometimes. So I need a better tire.
I cant find any 275/35/18 drag radials but my friends found some 305/35/18 sized ones. He said it would be fine to run a 305 on a 9" rim but I'm hesitant.
Also what brand would you say would work best for DD use in the summer. I don't race too often but I do mess around and sometimes go to the track. The car will see rain and highway use too. And Im looking to have them last a whole summer. Even longer would be better but I know that wont happen.
Just looking for suggestions. Thanks

Don't worry about it making much difference on your speedo or gearing. With an 18" tire the more sidewall you can get the better, the car will hook better this way.
