What Drag Radials for 18's?
 
Picking up a set of 18's for the TA this week hopefully. Curious to see what drag radial you guys are running on as far as 18's go!

oh yah i had 18' in c5 zo6's that i ran 295 35 18's on. they cost me 266 a tire but they worked great!!

You have plenty to chose from
brands: Nitto, BFG, M/T (street to race)
widths: 295, 305, 315

Nitto's lasting the longest for a DD and M/T being the stickier tire but not lasting at all on regular driving.

305's

305's would be the best fit

if your car is a dd. depending on how much driving you do, i thought it'd be cheaper to buy a pair of cheap 16' wheels and dr's and swapping them in/out everytime you go to the track, rather than driving and wearing out the exspensive 18's.thats what i did. just my .02
