is a 205-50-15 too small for a drag tire? i found a great deal on some Sumitomo HTR Z's / HTR 200's and i'm just not sure about the size. help anyone?

 

:BUMP:

 

It you have an auto, they are perfect, 5 speed you will burn em up.

 

Slicks work better than drag radials. If these going on an extra set of rims go ahead and just get slicks. Mickey thompson 22x8x15 would be a great size for an auto.

 

well, unfortunately for this case i've got a 5spd. i've already got some 15x7 wheels, but the tires i have on there are crap. and i would like to get something else on there before friday's meet. what would the best size in a radial be? a 205-55? and i am planning on drag radials this summer, i just wanted something short term.

 

I've found street tires to be street tires. I pull just as good 60' times on my 205-65 all season generic brand tires as I do on my $180 a piece 235 wide toyo T1-S. You are wasting your money if you buy those, don't bother.

 

Nealoc187 knows...get slicks.

 

T1-S's really! You feel you don't get great performance from them? Just curious to know.

 

I run 225/50/15 on my steelies and they are BFG G-force T/A drag radial...

 

I get great performance out of them, but there is no difference at the drag strip. It's not about how sticky your street tire is its about your technique.

 

Gotcha
