Tire size depends on your current setup HP, Suspension, etc As for tire brand Mickey thompson are best in my opinion but are pricy and dont last long. I personally use Nitto DR's and they hook very good and have a decent treadlife. Are you looking for slicks or drag radials ???

Go with the Mickeys you'd swear you were running slicks..... but only if you dont plan on driving in the rain. If you plan on keeping these on the car for street driving buy the Nittos.

definitely mickey thompson...et streets (bias ply) hook great, but are not radial use a 26 X 10 /12 and get tubes....run at about 15 psi on a a stock type rim

i just got a set of mickey thompson et street radials, and they seem to hook great (my gears still aren't in, so it's hard to tell, but in the rain they were pretty good.

same thing on those...275/50 is 26 X 10/12 run about 25-30 psi

you neeed to reverse the quad shocks end for end for the tires to clear...or just remove them completely.
