hey fellas i dont know come-here from sick-em about drag racing but im bout done with my 64.5 muffstang. im runnin about 340-370 horse out of my 5.0. 9' rear with 4.11 and an Aod tranny. yea i know i should have gone with the T-5 but im an idiot. Im also going to spray it a bit. looking to buy tires that will be good on the strip but have a decent street life. car will not be driven much. the rims are 17x8.

thnx for the help and see you on the 1320!!!!!!!!

 

Micky Thompson ET Street Radial. Comes in a 17 inch and is the best drag radial on the market. Wear on the street is not that good but you should be able to 3-5000 miles depending how you treat them.

 

what kind of price range are the dr's? should i buy normal tires for my nice rims and buy smaller rear rims for better tires?

i would like to get better then 3-5000 out of them

 

while i am by no means arguing with JD, I prefer hoosier QTPs...

 

Thats a good tire as well, it's just not a radial. not sure if it is offered in a 17" either

You will hook better on a tire that has a taller sidewall, so getting a second set of smaller diameter rear wheels is a good way to go plus then you won't be putting as many street miles on them. As far as wear goes, that the trade off for having a tire that hooks. The BFG Drag Radial lasts longer than the M/T and the Nitto lasts the longest (but hooks the worst). Price range is about $130 or so per tire.

 

whoops..my bad...none of the QTs are offered in 17s...but i would look into a 15" rim...just my opinion though...

 

thnx for the help ill get some 15's for the rear i can actually get the ones that match my 17's...that will look comedy with 15's in the back and 17's in the front
