Drag radials for 17 x 10.5
Whats the best size drag radial to go with for a 17 x 10.5. I'm thinking a 275 might be pushing it on the too skinny side, but there is a limited selection of 315 drag radials... .any ideas?

I believe Nitto & BFGoodrich are the only companies that offer a 315/35 DR. The Nitto is a little more expensive but lasts a little longer in my experience.

Nittos will last longer if you can probably get 12k miles outta them if you drive them on the street. BFG's youll probably get like 4-5k. However BFG's stick so much better. After winter when my F1's die, my set of nittos' will be my DD and ill get mt's or BFG's for the track.

i have 315 bfg's and they hook decently i also have a set of nitto's i took off because they were no different than the street tires i had on you had to drop pressure and heat them up forever for them to work well but they did net me a 1.8 60 foot but the bfg are much nicer on the street they dont take as much prep to get good traction
