Default I need tires for my ponies

I just had my H/C/I done and now this car is a monster. Well, my car keeps spinning through gears and I need traction. I want to keep my ponies for now until I can get a new set of rims. What size drag radials do you guys recommend? Also what brand?

I recommend mickey thompson et street radials. Not to bad for the street, but if your in the rain, take it easy.

I've heard a lot of good things about the BFG's and Nitto's as well.

MT's have the best traction, followed by the BFG's, then the Nittos.... but.. the Nittos last the longest, followed by the BFG's, then the MT's. 245/50/16 will keep youre speedo acurate. Nitto makes dr's in that size. 255/50/16's will fit but youre speedo will be off. Both BFG and MT make dr's in that size.

however your speedo isnt going to be off that much and mine is already off for some reason so i figured i might as well make it more off lol
