Could we use mickey thompson "street radials"?

I see they have 17inch tires..
was wondering if the evo's could use them...for drag racing etc.
or would we have to strengthen the transfer case or axles?


Thanks

The A3S04 or the R3S04 in a 17" are excellent. You could go with the 225/40zr17 or the 245/40zr17

I'm running those for the first time at the track on Saturday... they hook very well on the street... not that I have a serious traction problem with my few mods, but I did break traction when launching and that totally went away and I can clearly tell that bad boy gets out of the hole much harder... I honestly do feel a very big difference... I'll let you know my times next Monday after we get back... going to this big event we have in our area www.bragginrights.org
