Was pegging the MAF at 4k rpm, on the first run, then the SPARK blew out!

I have a set of nitto 555 and 555R on my 18's that i use at the strip sometimes, but i need a set for my city slippers for my 22" AR rims not sure the width. I saw many sizes fron 295-335 what do you think? 300.00 per tire max i think is fine for me. I don't mind staggered wider in back. i like...
Like the title says, my 22's are all bald and losing air every few days, i guess it's time for a new set. What is the favorite 22 inch tire that you guys reccomned? or favorite sizes 295-335 i imagine not bad prices in 305's 150-200 for some the conti's and kumhos

I just picked up a whipple 2.3 so I am selling my stage 5+ steggy eaton. This Eaton has about 12k since the service was done in 2008. This stage 5+ is similar to stage 4 with torque plate and better power/torgue under the curve, drives real nice on the street.
