I don't know if this is the best section to put this but this section gets the most traffic. My car with the new setup is suffering from real bad wheel spin. I have a set of 16" x 8" rims that i can use. Now im not looking for a slick since i want to drive the car on the street . SO im looking for the best ET Street Radial tire.
I would like some inputs from the guys who HAVE drag radials or have experienced with them in the past. Please don't post something you read over at another forum or head from your uncle.Thank you in advanced .

nitto 555rs [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] nitto 05r they dont come in a 16 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Drag Tires [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

depends on how often you drive vs race the car. i daily my car so i went with the nitto 555r's and have been more than happy with them. my car hooks in 2nd with 570/650tq and i got 11k out of them which is probably twice the life of M/T's. if its a weekend warrior/race car i would go with M/T's or nitto NT05Rs whichever you find cheaper to ensure as much traction as possible.

i dont daily drive the car i use it on the weekends , it probably sees 400 miles a month. im leaning more and more towards those 555rs but i dont like that they dont come in a 275 or 295 in a 16" rim.
what about M&H ? anyone try them ?
