hmm...seen a 1.58 60 on a vette with 540 rwhp. Seemed to hook then. How are the new mt's then? Will it be way better? Thanks for the input
have you guys tried softening up your rear shocks to help you get more traction? I tried it and it seemed to help. Plus i put my tool bag and some other **** in the t top area lol.
for just running around i have a 18 in Nitto 305/35/18 drag radial. They cant hook out of the hole but i never expected them to, they're just a hell of a lot more grippier than a regular tire and i can punch it from a roll and they'll stick.
with 520 rear wheel i ran around on a 275/40/17 bfg drag radial and they worked good but dont last for ****.
of course some of you guys are making double the power than i am so of course the tires won't hold.
if your car cant hook on a 275/40/17 m/t drag radial it aint gonna hook with a 315. you gotta dial in your shocks and torque arm to help out.
whenever i put the bottle on the car, i'm sure I will need a 18 in mickey thompson radial

I can cut consistant 1.4xs on the MT Radials on the 325/50/15s. The hook much better on the street too but they aren't as friendly in the rain after 2000 miles.

You wont hook with 315 Nitto's, there is no way. I have them, and I am not even running any FI, and I can't hook with them. Even from a 35 mph roll, I will spin through the top of first, through second, and well into third... lol
Oh yeah, and trust me they are not over inflated....
