Default best hooking tire on the street

I have a m6 car with every bit off suspenion u can think off i cut 1.7-1.8 60 fts on street tires

im about too be putting down arund 750-800 rwhp and i was wondering what radial i should run for the street fun in mexico.. i do dead stops and 40-160 kicks...i ran nitto nt555r 305/45/18 drag radials for a long time like them they dead hooked my car leaving out of the hole on bottle b/c im just a bolt on car with a 150 hit ofcourse that was leaving at 1500-2k depending on if i was running 12-15 psi in them when i raced i also race at the track alot too...

Nitto's are good, but I think for that kinda power you might should look into the MT drag radials.

My 555r's hook great but no where near that power, but I head NT05r's are really good.

I run the M/T ET Street IIs, and I have zero complaints. I, like you, have a fully built rear and FULL suspension which certainly helps. I dead hook in any gear its actually pretty impressive for the torque.

I run 315/35/17 M/T ET Street Radial's cut regular 1.5 60's Great hook up has a sidewall so doesnt wabble going down the road or in corners like regular wrinkle wall's, but not very friendly on wet roads
