with all the drag radials on the market to choose from which one hooks up the best. has to fit on a 16 inch rim

 

Mickey Thompson has 2 ET Street tires that'll fit on normal-width 16" rims: 26 x 10.50-16 and 26 x 11.50-16. They have just about the best reputation for hooking up at the track, although they aren't very streetable and might require tubes. Nitto and BF Goodrich both have drag radials, 245/50 for the Nittos and 255/50 for the Comp T/A Drag Radials. The Tire Rack sells the Drag Radials and maybe the Nittos too.

thanks

 

I recently bought a rear set of rims that had M&H Racemasters 305-50/16 DOT Drag tires. They are bias ply, and after having them on the car for a few days (in the cold) they ride like crap till they warm up (rolling). Once warm, they hook up VERY well. I read another post earlier; apparently they are hard to come by. When these wear out, I'll probably switch to Nitto's. I've heard a lot of good about them. On my 16X8 rims, they're "slightly" bulged, but fit fine inside the wheelwell. It might just be my WS6 suspension's firmness keeping them from rubbing?? They're about 1/2" (mounted) taller than my 245ZR50/16's I usually run. Hope this helps.
