The problem with 20" tires and grip is that they have no side wall...yeah they look good and all, but sidewall is HUGE when it comes to test grip....If you want proof...then look at some slow-mo video and still images of a dragsters tires at launch....or look at NASCAR tires....

If you want grip...then ditch those 20s.....and if you are looking for grip for drag I am willing to bet that a set of cheap 17s and some M/Ts or BFGs is not going to cost any more than 20" "drag radials".....

This is realy more for everyday use. With the addition of my supercharger the car easily overpowers the tires to the point of being dangerous. So a drag radial with more contact with the ground would be great even with out the extra sidewall. I plan on using my stock wheels and throwing some drs or slicks on it for the track.
