Nate1647545505 Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 So will my car with drag radials beat an LT..oh i mean.. Need some input from the smaller tired guys: I need a drag radial that would fit a 16 inch rim, and be a max of a 245. I'm looking at the Nitto 555R with a 245/16/50 setup and was wondering if anyone ran them? (Thanks Anthony for the input) BFG doesn't have any sizes that would fit . Anyone have any other tire companies I should check out? Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 its a trade off I had good tread life out of my bfgs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate1647545505 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I checked BFG's site, and I'm pretty sure they had nothing listed that was 245/50/16. Could be wrong though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackbar00 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I loved my Nittos, and they lasted 3 years to boot! But I recently put street tires on the 17's and just use my 10 Holes for my ET Streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STRIKEZ Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 If you want to go a little stickier, You can try a Hoosier Quick Time Pro. These are intended for Drag only, but actually could be driven on the street. Hoosier Part # 17430 26x 9.50-16LT http://www.hoosiertire.com/Drtire.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
