What are the best tires to take........... to the dyno???
Should I keep my 315/17 BFG DR's on the car for the dyno, or should I put my 275/18 nittos street tires on?
I have heard that the street tires make better numbers on the dyno, and then I've heard that they will not grab the rollers as well as DR's.
I should be making between 575-600rwhp if all comes together and I figured this would be the place to find out what tires I SHOULD take.
Thanks in advance.

last time I dyno'd with much less nitrous and the tires spun and the car kicked sideways.
I drive normally with my n18" nitto's and race with my 17" BFG's........

The ZR1's are wider and much heavier. They are 11" wide and the 18's I have are 9.5" wide.
But the 315's should be much stickier.......
