Default Drag radials, etc

Hi, I have 245/75/17 tires now and I wanted to invest in buying some all weather tires or drag radials. I can't seem to find any tires in those dimensions, what are the other ones that would fit? Also can someone link me to a set of drag radials that would fit on my car and are for sale? Thanks..

245/75/17's????? You sure you dont mean 245/45/17 or 275/40/17's???

What year stang do you have?

If you want drag radials and you have the 8" rims you are safe to buy 275/40/17 from nitto. 555R Extreme.

They're called ECSTA supras and those are the tire sizes, they aren't ugly, they are wide though, like a corvette tire...

no the width is 245, same as stock mustang tires... the 75 is the height (aspect ratio, meaning 75% of the width is the height) ... meaning you must have one hell of a tall offroad tire.... thats a 30.5" tire (if its the case) and thats gonna give you a hell of a rake! (I honestly don't think you've got 75 wide tires)

ps. those supras are a nice street tire, but you've got 245/45's I promise
