Default What Tire To Run

need some tires witch i have a question on. i have 15x8 pro stars and i don't know what tire i should get. i was looking at the 26x11.5-15 quick time pro or M/T ET street radial 26x11.5-15. the car is an 02 ss m6 lowered. but if you guys think something else would be better or one of those let me know. i wont be riding on them all the time but deff will get lots of street use as well as track use!!!!!!

ill deff be using them for both street and strip. i have 3.91s in a 12bolt moser 33 spline axles. textralia oz700 clutch/flywheel package cam and bolt ons 430rwhp 405rwtq car weighs around 3300lbs. took the front swat bar out. i have a torque arm, panhard bar and lower control arms. need to pick up relocation brackets and maybe some other goodies to help me out....

defiantly go with the 275/50 m/t drag radial if your going to be on the street ....the QTP is a bias ply tire and will not like street driving

listen on the drag radial i was launching at 5500 and going low 1.5's and even went into the 1.49's a few times they'll hold tire pressure and suspension setup is key !
