Dr. Pomade Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 In anticipation of racing the Cleveland guys this weekend, I need some better rubber on the rears. Specifically, I'm looking for two Nitto drag radials, size 305/35/R18, and I need them by this weekend. Post up here if you've got the tire hookup. My man Nick used to take care of this kind of thing for me, but he's moved on to better things. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 P.S. I know I can go through Discount Tires, but I wanted to see if anyone could get them quicker than they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimmel1647545512 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Talk to Derek, aka TurboRust, he seems to always have some mad tires. P.S. does your friend nick have a silver early 90's mustang gt hatchback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'd go to to jegs, they should be able to get them that fast if not in stock, if not, call derek, not sure how long his wait is/if he can even get them but it doesn't hurt to ask, 256-4040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProjectJ Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 None of the retail stores keep them in stock in that size, but we do have them here at the Warehouse (Delaware). You could have them will-called and pick them up here, but you could more easily just call or stop in one of the retail stores nearby and they can have them well in time for the weekend. The part number for those is 726-40203. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Although it would be very odd, and the chances of it working are slim to none, if the bolt pattern is right you can use my wheels. Apart from that I suggest Jegs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Might I suggest going with something OTHER than Nitto DR's?? Yes, they have their place (great summertime daily driver drag radial, good traction w/ great life). But at your HP level + the amount of miles you will actually drive the car a year, IMO you are better off with a different tire. How about: BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial. Offered in a 315/30R-18 which should fit Or my suggestion: Mickey Thompson Drag Radial, offered in a 305/35/18 http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetRadial Those Nittos are just not going to hold up.

TurboRust Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 those new mickey's are titties I'm glad they're finally making larger 16,17, and 18" sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 A lot of Marauder folks run the Nittos. Many say they suck for street use. If you can fit a set over your Rear Calipers, get a set of MT ET Streets. AWESOME hookup :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Nittos suck for traction. BFGs are the way to go, but wear out too soon if driven on everyday as compared to Nittos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the MT ET Street Radials are the way to go. Many say they hook as well as ET Streets at the strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 No, the MT ET Street Radials are the way to go. Many say they hook as well as ET Streets at the strip. Yeah MT's hook the best but they also wear the fastest. Ive always heard the BFG's are the average hook and average wear tire. The BFG's hook better than the nittos and wear better than the ET streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
