Radial for Daily I have a 2000 WS6. It made 500/500 on spray and 395/385 on motor to the tire.
I currently have 19/12's in the back with a 325/30/19 tire. Bought the car with those tires on it.
This is what I know. I would like to keep in the 305-325 range tire, bigger is more preferable. I know I want something that will solve the traction problem for me. (U have a large traction problem with the current tires on the rear, as well as some wheel hop which is bad) I know I want a 15 inch rim. The rear end area of the car is totally stock. I would like to have a 50+ sidewall. I would like to get a rear set up that does not require large amounts of banging.
The goals I have are: The car to go low 12's to high 11's, hook on the street, optional the car to go 120 mph in the 1/4. I am trying to achieve those goals at 5000 feet above sea level.
This is what I need to figure out. I need a good tire for an actually daily driven car. I would like to get the biggest tire under the car that I can get under there. I would prefer a M/T or a Hoosier radial.
Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated.

That is interesting. But if you looked at the other threads you would see that those threads are not asking the same questions. They are all asking different questions. But you would know that if you read them.
I would rather post 100 times or make 100 thread to answer all my questions than buy the wrong tires. That is just me. I prefer to do things once correctly.
I know my car does not make that much power. The way I see it I am doing my research and figuring out what has worked for other people in the past.
As for your suggestions thank you. But if you read my original post. I said I want to keep in the 305-325 range. And none of your options are even in that range.
But thank you for your input!

I did read them but anyhow your not going to fit a 3xx tire on a 15 inch rim very easily. I have 295/55r15 on my car and they rub everywhere without doing a lot of hammering. The only tire that "might fit" is the nitro 325/50r15 but the traction would be worse that a 275/50 or 60.
I've run mts and Hoosier, the Hoosier hook better but have terrible street life, the mts are ok but don't hook as well.
