Good dr for my setup?

My 245/50/16 Nitto 555R's aren't gonna work for me anymore as they will not hook and I'm looking for an alternative. Saw a set of Mickey P255/50R16 ET Street's but I don't think they'll be that much better than what I'm running now. My street tires are 315/35/17's and I was just thinking of getting dr's for those rims since the car is rarely driven anyway. Been looking at Mickey's or Nitto 555/NT05's? Any suggestions on these or alternatives for tires? TIA

The Mickey et streets are light years better than the dog doo doo 555r.

You will be able to dead hook on the et's.

On the 255's or 315's? But yeah, the 555's were good when the motor was stock but not any longer.

I'm looking at these since they're close to me. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...essenger_share

I don’t think you will hook with any kind of radial on a 315 tire with your power unless at the track. On the street no way

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't on the street. My Nitto's no longer hooked at the track either now. I picked up a nice set of 255/50/16 Mickey Thompson ET Streets, so I'll see how they do.
