drag radials

07stanggt · May 13th, 2008, 02:26 PM

I think i want to get some dr's for my stock 17inch bullits for the track. MTs is guess since i will just throw them on when im going to the drag strip, drive it there with them on and change them after i get home. dont want to have to get slicks and change them there. I hear the mts grab the best. Whats the best size for the 17x8 inch rim and i dont want anything taller then what i have now affecting my final ratio. How much better will they grip compared to the 275 nittos streets i have now?

The nitto tire is no comparison to either the MT et street or the M&H radial.

Nittos run small, so if you like the current size/ratio, even though it's a bit inaccurate in it's listed measurements, then come down a bit with the MT's.

I personally would run a 295/45/17 and call it a day.

thanks emay. mickey thompson has that size? and how much taller would that be then the 275 do you know?

07stanggt · May 13th, 2008, 02:34 PM

and whats a good driver looking at going from the street tires i have to the mt drs? 2/10s?

I gave you rep emay. even though i was almost caught up to you.

about the only area i could pass you.

Emay · May 13th, 2008, 03:06 PM

I don't even know how much I have honestly, not here for that.. just hang for the banter and offer assistance if I can..

I believe the height will be nearly identical to stock if I remember correctly.. Let me link over their sizing chart:

07stanggt · May 13th, 2008, 03:14 PM

stslimited84 · May 13th, 2008, 03:32 PM

Didn't think the 295's would fit the stock 17x8 rim.

M&H Racemaster Drag Radial 275/50R17 [MH-275-50R-17] - $198.00

Mickey Thompson 295/45/17 ET Street Radial [MIC-3745R] - $209.95

06GTMustang89 · May 13th, 2008, 05:59 PM

go big or go home....325/45 r17 i love mine...they run like a 285 and its a 28" diameter...

black05stxjt · May 13th, 2008, 08:21 PM

M/T All the way !!!!!

06VistaBlueGT · May 13th, 2008, 09:43 PM

I've run both Mickey's and M&H's. They are both awesome tires. The M&H's do run narrow, but don't let that fool you, they hook like crazy. I consistently run 1.76 60's with the 275/50's. If I had more power I have no doubt I could get 1.5 60's. I run them on 17x9 bullits. The 325's would probably be too wide for stock rims.

Either way,you can't go wrong. The only thing I can suggest is to go with a 28" tire. The 275/40 Mickey's hook great but look a little funny since they are a little short.

blackhavok · May 14th, 2008, 12:56 AM

having a 28" tire killed my top end... im running v6 wheels on a 26x11.5.16 et streets.....for the stock 17's i would do 26x11.5.17 et street...as soon as i order moser axles im gonna go with 26x11.5.17 or 28x11.5.17 et street on a 17x10.5 fr500 wheels.. i would go et streets bro.

silverstang · May 14th, 2008, 01:31 AM

i have seen the M/Ts do some impressive stuff........cars run in the 9s at my local track........AND my good buddy (who has already posted a comment on here) has them and i watched him launch his car at 5500 RPM, STICK, and propel his stang into the 12s with not much more mods than me!! great tire IMO
