26x11x16 Mickey Thompson E.T Drag

For serious draggers 26x11.5x15 MT/Hoosiers take your pick.
If you need more than that for anything under 700-800hp, your doing something wrong on a proper track. :) Im not running 15" rims cause I have a 2000rs that has the bigger brakes.

A medium to soft compound. You want them to get warm and grip as soon as possible. This will also depend on the weight distribution and transfer of the car. But you knew all that anyway

That\'s kinda what I was thinking... who is using the hard stuff, and for what?
