like Nine Ball said,275/50/15, i just got a pair of mickey thompson et street radial tires and they are as wide as my m/t 275/40/17 street radials, the m/t really work nice on the track

he said daily driver. everyone says how the m/t's dont work in the rain. the nitto's work great in the rain.

I had 275-60-15's on my 10" welds and they worked pretty good. That size tire works better on an 8" rim but they still worked pretty decent on the 10" rim. Would spin a little on the street but hooked well at the track. my car has basic bolt-ons, full exhaust, 3.23 gear and converter. They are taller though so it may make your abs light come on and be dissabled.

I also had on a set of 275-50 bfg drag radials. they worked better but not as good for a daily driver. Car doesnt get daily driven anymore so im gonna try 275-50 m/t's this year.

Opps, didn't read about the DD, yea the M/T will suck in the rain, but will own all at the track. Are the BFG's any better in the rain then the Nitto's?

bfg dr's are not as good in the rain as nitto dr's. i guess everyone has there different opinions on good and bad. i feel the nitto's are actually great in the rain. The nitto is probably the best all around tire....just doesnt hook as good. For a daily driver i would go with nitto's. If youre worried about hooking perfectly at times, then get another set of rims and put some m/t's on it. my car has been retired from daily driving so no more nitto's for me
