Help: Drag racing tires I'm wondering if someone could tell me what the best brand/ size is for some drag racing tires, that are street legal (or that I could a least get away with. I recently bought a 02 Trans Am that was a drag car and I'm trying to get it ready for my area's opener on May 3. It still has most of its set up,but the seller no longer had the drag radials. This is my first actually drag car and I just want an outside opinion.

They wear well, are safe to dive in the rain if you watch your speed, and they have a pretty good tread life.

They look nice, but I was mainly wondering what width I should get. I know skinny in the front small in the back, but I just wanted to see what other people use. I don't want to go two thin that I can't steer

Sounds like you don't really have any idea of what is actually in your car.
contact the seller. Have him give you a rundown on what parts remain in your drag car now vs when it was running 12 oh's.
There's no point going any further on this topic untill you have that info.

I know its not making more than 330HP with this tune. Can I ask why you prefer MT over Nitto. Like I said I haven't raced anything this legit before and I just want a third party opinion .
