Drag Radials

[MMG1989]

I run a 245/45/18 in the front & a 275/40/18 in the rear but u want to put two drag radials on the back tires because i spin alot leaving at the track with those Hankooks so should i go with the same exact tire size or go with a wider drag radial? Any suggestions?

Try airing your rear tires down a bit at the track and see what happens.

Mickey Ts in a 305/45 18 if you have wider wheels (at least 9.5" wide)

And you won't have to worry about rubbing issues with the QA1s http://www.streetsideauto.com/search.asp?keywords=qa1+ts706

I have tried several and have had the best success with the Mickey Thompson Street R. Part #3580 Size P305/45R18

With stock rims widened to 9.5" it may rub on the shocks.

I run MT Et Streets in 305/45r18 for track or skreet action. For daily use I have Nitto 555s on 9.5 wide wheels. They hook ok, till boost hits.

I like sailsmen suggestion. If you hook hard on 28s you run the risk of snapping your axles. C-clips can be your enemy also. Street performance radials suck on the track. Nitto 305 my be a good choice also. What's your HP and torque numbers?

Aren't your daily tires NT05 ?
Much better than the 555


GOT BOOST ?

Nope, just the regular 555 Extremes.
