I was looking at some Mickey Thompson Street R tires. But basicly I guess I would need to know what rim size I will be going with and how wide? Are you guys using a 10'' or 10.5'' wide wheel? Also are you using a 17'' or 18'' wheel? Maybe your getting away with a 15'' wheel. I'm looking at the RT-s wheels.

The new Mickey Thompson et street r's are limited in sizes, was going to run them but only 28" tire was a 325 which I don't need.

305/35 19 nitto nt05r, they hook really well on the street thus far....649 rwhp

You will want a 10.5 rim atleast unless you don't care if they stick out of the fenderwell

I run 18x10 with a Nitto 305-45-18 DR (555R). Mid to high 10's with 1:50 on the 60' street or track I don't change tires.

Just about any size MT ET Street or ET Street II's will get you to low 11's or high 10's, 17", 18", 19" or 20". The ET street R's are probably over kill

I hit a 1.62 60' with the nitto 555r 285s. Power limited. Decently prepped track at VMP. I think if you want to run a full time drag radial the Nitto 555r is a good choice. They do fine in the rain and hook very well on a halfway prepped surface.
