drag radials on stock wheels

[FrozenSolid]

whose doing it and what tire are you running? how much better is your hookup compared to lets say a 245/40 street tire vs 215/60 drag radial? im thinking of going with 215/60 on stock bottlecaps..

edit:

was looking around, and for 50 bucks more a tire i can get mt street radial 2's. how much better are these, if they are better that is?

i got you.. what says you about go-fast-straight tires??

mickey thompsons are the way to go imo. nitto's are good for an all around street tire, bfg's are a good in between of street useage and hooking but mickeys will hook the best.

i ran 205/55-r14 nitto nt555r on my bottle caps, good wear on the street. lasted about 2 years (15k miles). sucked really bad in cold weather, could spin 2nd from a roll.

not worried about wear, just want maximum traction. im leaning towards the mts after some research. ill let you guys know how they do when i get them

just an update. i ended up going with 225-50-15 mickey thompson street radial 2s.

id say roughly 3000lb weight, never been on a scale. around 350whp. next size up is 235/60 15 i belive, and these fit perfect, a hair taller or wider and they would rub. i went from spinning tires in first second and partial 3rd to only loosing traction in first. this is with 2,93 lsd. only suspension adjustment is thicker spring pads in rear (15mm) to help with the rubbing.

you have any suggestions?

350? Motor specs and pics please. Tires look awesome, and seem functional.
