What types of tire are you supercharged guys and gals running?

 

Same as everyone else runs...There s not a special tire for boosted cars. Sorry for sounding rude, i don t mean this in a mean way. Mickey Thompson Drag Radials are probably the best(softest) radial you can buy. You can blow the diff out of your car with them, no problem.

 

I dont run drag radials because I hammer the back road twisties everyday and I'd total my car with straight line drag radials on it trying to corner fast. Id rather corner fast as hell vs off the line DR traction tires. 99% of any runs I do is from a roll anyway and I can pedal the throttle just fine with my Nitto NT-01's if I have to for straight line and they do pretty well hooking up as well as cornering like im on rails.

 

My car is mainly a street driven car so I guess I will stay away from the drag radials since I not readt to replace my rearend yet.

 

Street driven car, I switched from 295/35-18 Goodyear GSD3's to 305/35-18 Nitto Drag Radials because I couldn't keep any traction with the GSD3's. The Nitto's are VERY adept for street driving, and quite confidence instilling in the twisties. I would have no hesitations running any twisties with them. Sketchy in the rain though, as expected with a drag radial.

 

Toyo Proxes R888s. R compound. Competition Road Racing tires.

275/35ZR/18

305/35ZR/18

If you want a drag radial though I would go with the mickey Thompson ET Street Radial II.

 

bfg g force on the street and mickey thompson et street radial II's for the track

 

I was looking at that bfg g force tire on tire rack. They had some good prices. I might just go with those if they're good for the street.

 

Nitto RIIs 305/35/18s in back hold the power OK unless it is below 70 degs. I'm on my second set right now.

 

315/30/18 m/t et street 2's but i don't daily drive

 

315 Nitto NT01's, great tire, worthless over 600rwhp, crappy wear on the street... They say "For Competition Use Only" on them for a reason...

 

Mickey Thompson DR 305 35 18. Solved my traction problem but I'm right around 500 rwhp.

 

Now do you see the problem with the question. Tires for any high hp car is always going to cause you issues. You need to ask yourself a couple questions. First what is your driving style? Do you love the twistys and do you find yourself in them often? If you do then a drag radial won't be for you. Second will this car be a daily driver and will it see rain? If the answer is yes then a R compound tire will not be for you and that would rule out a Nitto NT-01 or 555R11'S or Toyo R888. These tires don't last on the street the constant heat cycles and soft compounds were the tires down quick.I have a 581rwhp garage queen so used the Nitto 555R11'S nice tire but at 5,000 miles on them the were bars are getting close, and until their real hot you can smoke em right through the gears. Now I just switched to monster size 345 30 19 on a 19x13 wheel PS2 tires.I'm going on the assumtion that the 638hp ZR1 has them,600hp Viper,and just about every Ferrari these should do the best overall. One thing I always remind myself everytime my tires are spinning these cars were built for autocross not drag racing so not to get discuraged.Good luck
