Best sticky tires/where to buy
I am installing all the mods in my sig here in the next week. I also plan on a set of LS6 heads and a TRex cam so some sticky tires are a must.
What is the best affordable street legal drag radial tire to run on stock 98 Z28 chrome 5 star wheels? I don't want to have to do any fabbing up to fit them in. I just want to order them and have them put on. I'm also not looking to spend a fortune as these will only be on for the summer. I will be getting pro-stars at some point.
So, which ones should I get? Nitto, M/T, Hoosier, etc.?
What size do I need to order for it to fit without any issues?
Where is the cheapest place to buy them?
Sorry for all the questions but thats what this forum is for, right?

The Nittos you can get 12,000 miles on them if you don't go to the track very much. Expect the MT to last about 4,000 - 5,000 miles under the same conditions.
But, if you want the ultimate hooking tire without going to a true ET Street or Slick. Go with the MT ET Street Radial.
If you don't want to get into a tire with the MT short life span. Go with the Nitto Drag Radial (Not the Nitto Extreme). They hook pretty well depending of the power you have.
Good Luck!

555R can't beat it, great everday tire, just not so good in the rain, everyone is going to pass you in the rain. I always get it from discount tire direct which is a sponsor. I don't know if that is the cheapest but that is where I always get mine.

i havent run the mt drags but i would check them out. the nittos suck, and take much more burn out to get them to hook. i've run bfg drags for 4 yrs now and they are great. first pass at the track i do a decent burn out after that i just scratch em. i have never had a traction issue on launch with my bfgs. i would suggest to get 2 more rims and not to run them on the street. when they start to wear down they will become dangerous in wet weather.

Sorry I can't offer much assistance with the drag radial question.
