Default Who makes the widest 17" 315 Drag radial?

Im looking for a set of drag radials. However it seems a 315 comes in a many different width. So who makes the widest 315 for a 17" wheel? Does anybody make a 325 for 17"? I can't find those any where. Thanks

Well i know 315 nitto vs 315 m/t, the nitto looks like a 275.

M/T or BFG have the widest, M/T's compound is 10x better though. I had 345's on my T/A, but you need at least a 12" wide wheel. Hoosiers 335 DR will fit a 11" wheel, but last about 2k.

Hoosier 315s are pretty dang wide, but like 'Trust' said, they won't last you long.

I have had the BFg before, I liked them. I'm leaning towards the M/T. I would like to fit a 325 but i cant find them in a 17".

I don't normally drive in the rain either but at least with the ET Streets I could slow it down a little and still make it home if I got stuck in wet weather. With these Hoosiers I can't take it over 30 and even then it's a slip n' slide.

ET Streets as in the bias plys? Or the ET Street Radials? Have to be talkin about the radials because the ET Streets are bias ply (pretty much a slick) and would be scarey in the rain..

Talking about the radials. I had ET Streets too on my stock 17's and they were better in rain than these hoosiers, although the Hoosiers are over 3" wider so that had a lot to do with it.
