Default Which drag radials to buy?!
Just wondering what tire I should purchase. I own a 99 Camaro, the setup is a 6L heads and a cam + nitrous. Paired with a TH400 and a 12 bolt. Makes around 650whp. It is a street car and gets raced on NO PREP. I have the MT Et Street R's and they work amazing with prep, but don't perform as well on no prep. What works best for you on no prep? Thanks in advance.

Tusky is right. After ET Street R's the only thing I'd try are the Hoosiers but to be honest Some serious coil overs might be your only hope

Yeah but he's running a 6 speed (harder to hook) than a auto car and he's got more power than you as well. I say Hoosiers is top notch.

Give a bias-ply set a try, unless you're completely opposed to the idea of course.
