Need help choosing a tire
Need help choosing a tire I need a pair of drag radials and I have no idea which one to go with. I have stock SS wheels with an SLP Lid, hooker LT's, off road y-pipe, and exhaust. My rear is stock. Which pair should I go for and what size? Thanks for the help!!
For 16" rims#Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tire P255/60R16
27'' x 10.5'' - 15'')
For 17" rims # Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tire P275/40R17
26'' x 11.5'' - 17'')
Personally something 26" with a 10" tread, but they don't really make that size with 16" or 17"

Agreed with above. Mickey Thompson D/R's are by far the best. Be sure to get the tallest tire possible for the best traction. (Unless you've got 2.73 gears) And good luck with that 10bolt...lol

And if you want a 28" tire that fits an 8" rim, M&H 275/55-16 ***! Outhooks the M/T and is a lot lighter!

Verdad Gallardo There is no reason for him to run a 28" tire, his car is stock with headers and a y-pipe or at least that is all he listed as mods.
I also don't see anything about higher gear ratio, so a stock motor with an exhaust with stock gears would slow the car down with a 28" tire.
Personally I think the M/T drag radials are the better tire, there is a reason the ET records for drag radial classes are mostly held running the M/T drag radial, if there was a better tire and it was the M&H then everybody would be using them.

I switched from M/T's to M&H's, gained .08 in 60' first time out.
