Rubber ones............

Uea, for track or street? Some qtps for track, or full slick.

If your thinking street, I really dont think it matters, your gonna spin a lot on a street tire lol

Round ones

Despite wearing out quick and shelling out almost $1000 for a set of 4, these M&H Drag Radials are top notch for street/strip use.

They are also a full 26" tall tire, good for over 150mph at 9k on the stock 4.53 FD

If you dont want to break parts Star Spec's or RS3's. If you want traction and drivetrain be damned......555R's

I use Hankook rs3's in 255/40/17 and can spin tire from a 60 roll in third gear. First and second gear are absolutely pointless. I would assume once it warms up, the third gear traction issues will be less severe, but I'm going to be switching to m&h drag radials for my 'street' tire.

That's a great deal! You'll have to report back and let us know about your traction issues on the street after you get them installed

It won't be an issue. I ran around on Hoosier drag radials for a couple months when I was on a 2.3/FPBlack setup, and it dead hooked at any speed in any gear.
