You have ran both 245 16" and 315 17" nittos, right? Which ones do you like best for traction? Any difference when on the street or at the strip between the two?

tia and good luck with the new M/T radials

For the track, I have been more consisrent with the 16's. For the street the width of the 315's work better.
Although all around the 315's are better but more exspensive to replace for much hard use.

I am liking the m/t drag radials now. Along with the lower control arm braclets, they hold a 4500 launch on the I-55 cement launch pad

I will try to get track results from the M/T tires Tomorrow if the rain goes away.
As for track results on Nittos,I have gone 1.67 on 16 inch Nittos and a 1.64 on 315's.
same track on different days with the f13 cam on the 1.64. It helped me do to tq

My rear is beefed up. I just did the LCA brackets and welded the tubes. She better hold for a season or 2.

I just did the lca relocation brackets also, nice upgrade. It doesnot seem to bang under the car now when speed shifting like before. Traction is awsome as well.
