Well looking at the 15 inch Summit wheels right now the R/T Warriors and going to do that for my car seen them on a T/A and they look good and know they will be lighter then stock but not trying to break any records
Question is about the Drag radials I hear about the Nittos being good for the street and last but suck at the track. Then hear the Mickeys being great track tire but won't last on the street for anything is there any other brand that has done good for people in both place i know I will have to sacrifice in one direction where they are going to perform
And skinnies I know they sell them but is there another open say using them off a small car instead of buying say a Mickey Thompson skinny that cost quite a bit????

For my Telstar 15" skinnies I used to use tires for an old vw beetle. You could get them at any auto parts store for around $25/tire. They were like 165 r15's I think. I'm going to use them again with a new set of summit wheels.

Thanks for the input I they will be "DD" so they will last a lot longer then the drag skinnies I suppose
PS
Jake that 442 what you have going in that my dad was an oldsmobile man and had a 68 cutlass and LOVED that car we have a set of 455/TH400s in the garage he said once my car gets into the 12's he might get the itch to want to race again
