skillz Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 looking to get a pair of drag slick wondering what size are people using and what size rims for them are the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehzack Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) 15x8 cragar soft 8's. $42 bucks a piece from summit. 275/50/15 BFG drag radials $168 each. Idk, if money is a concern for you but I believe thats one of the cheaper options. If you get DR's as opposed to slicks you won't have to carry an extra set of wheels in the back of your car or worry about dying in the rain on the way to/from the track. My buddy had that same setup on his '02 GT and pulled consistent 1.7 60's on bone stock suspension. Anywho, my thoughts on the subject.

Boosted_Widebody Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Nitto has some really nice drag radials out right now for a decent price. some of my buddies are using them. i dont have any, but if your not making a whole bunch of power like me "maybe 250ish" on stock suspension....ive had good e/t's on regular summer tires. i like the goodyear gs-ds3..they are pretty soft for an everyday tire and get pretty sticky with a small burnout.

tehzack Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 mickey thompson ET Streets are unbeatable. Truth. All the people I know with DR's (mustang guys i'm afraid) rank it M/T, BFG, Nitto in order of most awesome to awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Nitto 555r's are great for a high hp street tire but lack on the drag strip due to sidewall reinforcment. MT's are ackward on the street due to no sidewall reinforcement which is what makes them the best on the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Another option is the hoosier 225/50/16 if you want to use the stock wheels. Like the Micky et's, these should not be driven on the street. Consider diameter as well. With the taller tires you will need 250 plus hp to get to the top of the power band in fourth.

skillz Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 what about hooiser 255/50/16 drag radial? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOO-17325/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 They should be comparable to the MT et streets. Not to be driven on the street though. Do you want a track only tire or one that is safe to drive on the street? Of course if you live real close to the track. There is also a MT drag radial that can be street driven. I have nittos, bfg's and had mt et's till some one stole them. Buddy has the 225 hoosiers. The nittos not so good, bfg's good but no comparison to race only tires. I like the smaller diameter of the 225's. 255's rub on some cars. I do like the big tire look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
