I would at the most look at the nt05r or 555r, were not making power for a drag radial, I'd get some bushings replaced to fix wheel hop and just run a sticky street tire personally

If you want a good tire and set up you need a smaller wheel, 18" with a 255 tire and that'll help a lot.. My srt-6 made more power and torque then my Z and I ran a 255/15 Mickey Thompson and cut 1.8 60' all day

I'm not using radials, I have been to the track with a 285 hankook and not spun and run a 2.0 something 60', I just think as a stock car you will be slowing yourself down with that much tire. A 305 isn't necessarily a good thing if you don't have the power to move it, most people don't realize but too much tire will slow you down
Will this be a track only tire or something you drive on daily? Last edited by cjwsrt6; 02-17-2016 at 09:41 AM. |

I agree that I think DR's are overkill for your power levels especially a 305 tire.

I will be ordering nto5r 305/35/19 for my spare HRRIMS. They will be stritckly used to the drag strip, at the drag strip and then back. My stock Rays will be dd. I think if your not boosted, the 555 is stock size will till run nice. Maybe 35 instead of 30 for more side wall.

I guess what I'm saying is tires are like shoes, you won't buy a dress show to go running in, so you can't buy a street tire and expect to drag race Last edited by cjwsrt6; 03-14-2016 at 10:07 AM. |

FYI Maxxis has a new tire in a peculiar size: 295/40 18. They claim it is optimized for the weekend drag racer etc. VR-1 | Maxxis Tires USA
Not sure that it is even available yet they unveiled it at Sema last fall.
