Looking at picking up a set of tires for my spare rims for the odd street race against my friends and the odd 1.4 mile track night, Mods are in sig and i was looking at nitto 555r's but wondering if there is something stickier around the same pricerange?

Looked at them on ebay but dont see any in 16" rim

Cape T/A

Mickey Thompson ET Street radials.

Yes they are very good from what I hear....

That's the problem. They aren't offered in for 16" wheels.

Or these.

Basically you have 2 main choices, the MT ET Street Radials or the 555R's. 555R's will be better in the rain but hook a little less than the MTs. You can look at Toyo Praxius TQ drag radials also, but I haven't seen a whole lot on those

i don't care about how they are in the rain or handle on the road because they'll only be on when i race, just need to be able to drive downn the road a little to where we race

I have Toyo Proxes TQ in 315/35/17. I love them I hook on the street with 3.73s, SS3600 & MS3...with full PSI in the tires.

Cape T/A is right, MT's all the way for your case since your only driving a short distance outside of rain. Best traction of any tire for the strip. If you need something more streetable, Nittos would be good but you already know that.

Witch mickeys?

Cape T/A

ET street radials, those will be the best tire for you for a 16" wheel

I'll have to take a look at them, was thinking toyo proxes seem to be pretty cheap

Get hoosier drs if your only using them for track or race. They are bad ***.

Imo it depends on your power level, i run nitto drs on my prostars and have never had issues without hooking or spinning, if you make big power yeah the mts or hoosiers are the way to go but i plan on buying nittos again, replacing tires every spring got old, 2nd year on the nittos and they might make a third, thats a big factor for me, nittos drop some air, give them a killer burnout and they work just fine for me

Stock rears will depends on if the car is a m6 or auto,an auto you will be fine untill you really start making power,an m6 say a prayer before you do any hard launches on stickey tires,if you go to the track with a m6 car/drs make sure you have triple a lol
