On a 93 hatch I would suggest the 275/50/15 M/T Street Radial tire on a 15x8 rim with 5.5 B.S.. I have cut low 1.30's short times on these tires with ET's in the low 6's in the 1/8th mile.

I have the 275/60/15's on one of my wife's cars and she runs 10.00's on motor with no traction issues.

They do okay in the rain but no where as good as the Nitto's IMO.

^ there for 17inch rims though

If the car is your DD I would probably stick with the Nittos because they offer the best compromise between traction and street manners.

If it isn't your DD or you have a second set of wheels the MT ET Streets are great as are the M&H Racemasters.

Not sure if you have tried the Street Radials but their is no comparison to them against the E/T Streets. I have both and the E.T streets suck on the long end and around curves compared to the Street Radials.

Maybe the P275/40R17 would work then?

I was talking about the radials. If you will be driving the car to the track those are the way to go.

I imagine the 275/40 would be the best size, but I'm not too sure about how big of tires you can run on a fox without rubbing.

would 275/60/15 fit on a stock spring fox?

Gotcha. They get confusing since they have E/T Streets and E/T Street Radials. That and I am getting old as hell and confuse myself at times.

the bfg radials are exspensive and don't last for shit but they hook like a mother

ryans88gt · November 3rd, 2008, 12:02 PM

275/40/17 MT ET street radials. No traction issues ever, 10 times more stable than ET street bias plys.

500 hp and I could still put it to the floor in 1st without spinning ON THE STREET. In fact, I had to dump the clutch in 1st in order to spin them at all and even then it was hard to do a burnout without pushing the car forward.

Best tire currently made for racing and street use IMO.

Switching from ET streets bias ply on a 15 inch rim 26 x 10.5 to ET street radials 275/40/17 made the car 5/10ths faster in the quarter even with significantly heavier wheels.

sixxxshoooter · November 3rd, 2008, 12:04 PM

Does anyone make some good ones for 16's? I see alot of 15's, 17's and so on. I have some stock 16 chrome pony's I want to put some on.

yes...MT drag radials are made in most sizes for wheels from 15 in to 19 or 20 inch.
