if you guys could recommend any tire online, without rim, just tire, and only 2 rear tires, what would they be?

Just find the cheapest tires you can find so you can roast them all the time...

i dont really want to roast them, i just want the best traction i can get for off the line racing. And yes, i plan on getting upper and lower control arms and subframe connectors.

Default RE: tires

nittos are on the cheaper end of drag radials.

i had some cooper cobras on my 95 when i bought the car and never replaced them in the 3yrs i had the car and still could grab tread. that was after several donuts hard launches and burnouts. they don't do much for traction but did last a while

my next suggestion would be some nexons. when i had my girls saleens on my car i noticed a good amount traction comparted to my stock stuff
