Did anyone ever try a 17 inch 50 series tire for the
drag strip? Some Performance Mfrs make them for Trucks.
Stock is 275/40R17. I want to keep the stock rims.

Tire too tall..need to stay within an inch or so height all the way around...

Yeah, its like when you dyno. Rears moving and fronts dont. Causes an ABS issue for a few min.

it should fit. as long as it isnt too wide for its height. i have 235/60/16s which are ~.5" shorter in height than 275/50/17s. my fronts are 235/55/16s and you can tell the difference, but no ABS problems. you might have to use 275/45 in the front so yuor ABS doesnt act a fool...

I have Nitto street tire 275/50 r17. They are 28" tall and will screw up your ABS/ traction control features. Mine were not functional anyway so that was OK. They look great and are alot wider than the 275/40's i had. M&H also makes a drag radial in this size. Mine are on 17x9.5 z06's.

Thank for the replys. I was thinking of doing this for track only tires. (oe spair rims)
So Abs is not a factor plus I may be going with the 9inch so I would have to
get rid of it because I am 3 channel.
Plus if I go with the dana 60 the highest gear ratio is 3.56 I believe.
I may run out of gear when I go with Forged internals with my procharger.
The only way would to get a taller tire.

I never heard of MandH tires. Just found their website.
They look really good (beefy). They have a vid on them.
How do they perform? Also how are the street nittos compared to the drag radials?

The street nitto's suck for traction. mine doesn't stop spinning until about 55 in 2nd gear. But i do have 4.11's and th-400 with 3200 stall.
