What Drag Radial to run on Stock 17x9 rim

[Mr. Unknown]

Well I almost had the hook up on 295's from Just Tires but that turned out to be a farse :dancenana:


I was going to go with nitto 315's but I called Speed Inc and they said they dont make those anymore.


I've run a MT 275 and I like them but Im looking for something a little wider on street duty. I also would like something with a decent sidewall.


What are my options for DR's on the stock rims?

M&h?

At this point anything you can find as long as they stick! I'm trying to hold off until next year, as I am hurting for cash and trying to sell off stuff. Not sure what combo I will run next yr. yet. Can't decide if I should keep the drag look or the FR500s.

Meh. I don't think I want to sacrafice look for hook. I've got the slicks for that. Might be a last resort though.

Maybe I'll look around for a used set...


Keep the drag look. Car looked sick at Meijer.

only 315 that will fit on a stock rim is a nitto. BFG/MT/Hoosier all too wide.

Have you looked into R compound road tires? not a drag radial, but a street/track road course tire? like the nitto 555RII or the toyo proxes? you're just lookin for something that will grip when you punch from a roll right? no launches on the street?

No Im looking for something that I can still get some type of traction from a light.
