Drag Tyre recommendation

pkxu123 · 02-28-2024, 02:13 AM

Hi all, currently drive a 2017 manual supercharged 370z. Makes around 550hp.

Bought a set of 17s to run some taller tyres for drag days. These will purely be for the drag strip / coming to/from the drag strip.

Last time i was at the strip i was running semi slicks AR1 in 305/30/19 and had a terrible day. Slipping all day.

What tyres is recommended with 17s plus manual transmission?

Thanks

Work on your suspension. At that power level you should be able to hook that power level on the street. I am not sure what you have done to your suspension.

I run this set up on the 370 w/Nitrous and pretty happy with it. Light weight also.

(2) Enkei RP01 3798106538BK
18"x10.5" 38 os 21 lbs 73mm bore
(2) Hoosier Drag Radial DR2 P315/30R/18 are 25-3/4” tall x 12.25” section w/ 10” tread. 26 lbs each - total 47 lbs

I run the 17” Hoosier DR2 315 on my 600 whp manual Z06 Corvette and it worked well also.
