Re: Drag Tire Recommendations

OK, so right now I have 17" Supra wheels on the car. The rears are 9.5" wide. These are the everyday normal wheels I plan on running for awhile.

Then I have a pair of 16x8 FD wheels I got awhile back for cheap, with the intent that they would be my drag setup with some slicks or whatever. Only swap them on at the track basically, not a street use kind of application.


So with that being said, the 17's right now I was going to leave alone since the tires on there still have a bit of tread left. But eventually yeah I'd probably be wanting to get something like NT05R's or 555R's or ET Street Radials or some kind of badass street tire on there to plant the power. Miles, I dunno if I could get like 10k miles out of a set that'd be nice, but just pulling that number out of my ass. The car gets maybe 2k put on it per year right now.

So that's kind of my bigger plan. 17's are the street setup, with a pair of 16" FD rims to swap on at the drag strip. And since I've never really boughten slicks, drag radials, etc, looking for some advice.
