It's ok, I'm sure your English is better than our German/Slavic/Ukranian/etc etc...

No doubt. I thought you were just an american kid whos too lazy to spell correctly.

IF you really want good traction, get 18" wheels and Drag Radials. I doubt you'll find a good tire for 22" rim and the tire would be extremely solid for having a very low profile ... therefore you'll get more wheelspin ! Not to mention you'll kill your suspension.

if you make more than 400rwhp no tire is gonna hook on a 20' or bigger rim. the tires are just to hard and cant flex because there low pro. i have 285s on mine and can break loose from a 50 roll easily

What is the biggest size rim that can accommodate a drag radial tire? Is it 18"? 20"?
Also, are drag radials a decent tire for a daily driver?
Thx.

18's I believe and no they are not good for daily driving.
